I will make my environmental actions visible with a lawn sign or bumper sticker, or by posting to my social media networks.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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 host a house party to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

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

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

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 adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or utensils.

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

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will take a walk each day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 30 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 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 replace 60 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities.

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

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 exercise daily for 30 minute(s) per day for two weeks.
