I will learn about paid leave and its impact on health and wellness at a personal and societal level and how I can help advocate for paid leave in my company and at the national level.

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

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

I will research or test drive an electric car or bike.

I will raise money to support Northwest Earth Institute or another local nonprofit.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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