I will practice the seven principles of leave no trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will install alternative energy systems, e.g., solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

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 take a 40-minute walk outside each day.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will avoid sending .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or cutlery.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school.
