Abby Claussen

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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

I will cook a new recipe every day that features organic and/or local ingredients.

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

I will limit my social media use to once per day.

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
