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

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

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 15 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

I will replace 15 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

Growing plants can be rewarding and can create habitats big and small for wildlife. And, we can grow things almost anywhere! I will spend 5 minutes researching options for growing plants either inside or outside.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.
