Taryn Oakley

I will involve my children in completing the actions I have selected during the challenge.

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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 spend 5 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases.

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

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

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

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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

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