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

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 15 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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

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

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community.

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

I will take a walk each day.

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

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.
