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

I will spend at least 5 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

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 spend 10 minutes learning about local or national energy issues that will be on the voting ballot this fall.

I will replace 20 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 20 minutes 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 spend 10 minutes per day finding out what sustainability and nature-related legislation is on local and state ballots this year.
