I will practice the seven principles of leave no trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

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

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero waste each day.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 per day that I do this.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.
