I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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