I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 10 minute(s)

I will spend 20 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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

I will spend at least 25 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
