Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 65 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will spend at least 71 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.
