I will write or call 5 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

Organizations have a responsibility to make sustainable business decisions. To understand how to improve sustainable practices, it’s important to start with understanding the current impact. I will share the Tradewater Business Carbon Calculator with my organization.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 30 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 10 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will research and tell 10 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

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.

My goal is to be able to reduce using too much CO2. This will be done by me possibly to ride the bike or walk to destinations not too far away.

Working in a garden and planting food helps a lot. I chose this because it would help us deal with climate change, and it's much easier to access veggies. This should be done maybe a couple times a week.
