I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 4 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

Research or test drive an electric car or bike.

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

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will engage in nature-based activities with my kid(s) for 45 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 research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
