I will keep 8 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 4 conversations.

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

Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to 3 people or perform 1 random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.

I will replace 9 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will replace 120 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will replace 30 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

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.
