Erin Primrose

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

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day.

I will sign up for a local CSA (consumer-supported agriculture).

I will research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will engage in nature-based activities with my kid(s) for 20 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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

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

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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.
