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

I will wear clothes until they are dirty and only run the washing machine for full loads.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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 switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

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

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

I will take a virtual tour of the Greater Wenatchee Regional Landfill. Action Resource > >

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will exercise daily for 20 minute(s) per day for two weeks.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will use a clothesline or the dryer's automatic setting (not the timer).
