Mike Swift

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.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

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

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

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

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

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