I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 90 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 15 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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