I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

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 avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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

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

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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
