I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

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 each day that I do this.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

A community can be brought to its knees without dependable power, often affecting the most vulnerable. I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for a more resilient power grid (e.g. microgrids, solar+storage).

I will spend 100 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

I will spend 240 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

I will spend 30 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will replace 150 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
