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

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

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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 avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
