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

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 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 use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.
