I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.
