I will replace 20 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will wash my car at the carwash or over my lawn (not in my driveway) to reduce soapy run-off.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will hike a local trail. (Consider joining one of Chelan Douglas Land Trust outings such as May 8 Sam Hill Walk for Families.)

I will learn about all of the great sustainability practices and awards at the Greater Wenatchee Regional Landfill from the local WM websites.

I will maintain a steady highway speed on the highway, accelerate and decelerate gently, not idle my car for more than 2 minutes, and make sure my tires are inflated.

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

I will visit Link Transit at the "Touch a Truck" event or the Farmers Market.

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 watching the buds develop, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will spend 10 minutes checking out all the energy-saving opportunities on Chelan PUD's web page, ConservationMakesCents.org.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

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