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

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

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.

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

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.

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
