Study at least one wildlife conservation effort everyday in order to know which should be supported, and support at least one of them somewhat regularly.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 per day that I do this.

I will spend 45 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided at work.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream.

I will disable screen savers and will put the computer to sleep instead, saving up to 28% % more energy.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will replace 45 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
