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.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will volunteer 4 hour(s) in my community.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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

I will follow Link Transit on Facebook. Action Resource > >

I will spend 10 minutes checking out all the energy-saving opportunities on Chelan PUD's web page, ConservationMakesCents.org. Action Resource > >
