I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 90 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will use public transit 7 miles per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

I will visit a coastal or ocean site to experience the ecosystem and look for the presence of macroalgae/seaweed.

I will use seaweed in a new recipe.

I will plant 10 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.
