I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
