I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

I will spend 10 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 20 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.
