I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Greenhouse gases found in old refrigerants are up to 10,900 times more potent than carbon dioxide. I will help eliminate these gases through the purchase of offset credits to ensure we all have a planet we can thrive on.

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

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend 60 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will commute by bike 8 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.
