A'Quila Ettien

I will commute by carpool 12 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 5.54 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will disable screen savers and will put the computer to sleep instead, saving up to 28% more energy.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 20 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 avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly policies or something else I believe in.

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