I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

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

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will source 1 meals each day from local producers.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

Knowing our carbon footprint is the first step to reducing it. I will calculate my carbon impact and identify lifestyle changes that could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment. I will share my commitments to lowering my impact on the feed.

I will spend 15 minutes researching the impact of old harmful refrigerants on our environment.

I will plant 1 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

Many common products contain harmful chemicals. I will spend 15 minutes researching chemicals found in products I use, and I will make a list of products I'd like to replace with safer options.

Environmental issues often impact marginalized communities the most. I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

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

Processed foods can be less nutritious for our bodies and take more energy and water to produce, which can create more waste, pollution, and may offer fewer health benefits. I will enjoy 1 meals per day free of processed foods.

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will save up to 8 gallons (32 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow shower-head.
