I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 10 conversations.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

Processed foods can be less nutritious for our bodies and take more energy and water to produce, which can create more waste, pollution, and offer less benefit to our health. I will enjoy 2 meals per day free of processed foods.

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 30 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minutes each day.

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.
