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

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

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

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

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

I will make my environmental actions visible with a lawn sign or bumper sticker, or by posting to my social media networks.

I will visit Link Transit's website at linktransit.com to learn what route(s) I can utilize for my most common travel. Action Resource > >

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.

I will maintain a steady highway speed on the highway, accelerate and decelerate gently, not idle my car for more than 2 minutes, and make sure my tires are inflated.

I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

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