I will avoid printing 7 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or 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 adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 5 locally-sourced meals.

Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.

I will recycle 6 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard. Check out resources for which tree species are best to plant in your area.

I will use public transit 8 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
