I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my 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 research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

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

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

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

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.
