I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will plant 1 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.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will write or call 3 elected officials telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.
