I will sign up for a local CSA (Consumer-supported Agriculture).

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

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

I will donate unneeded clothing, books, and household items rather than throwing them away.
