Shawna Hawkins

I will sketch or paint outside.

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 naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will spend 5-10 minutes each day meditating, in prayer or reading inspirational literature.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will only run the dishwasher when it is completely full to use less water and electricity.

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

I will sign up for emergency alert texts.

I will limit my social media use to once per day.

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

I will visit Sustainable Wenatchee's website and sign up for their newsletter to learn about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

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

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 replace my furnace filter to help keep my HVAC equipment working efficiently.

I will disconnect from my email when not working or studying.

I will wear clothes until they are dirty and only run the washing machine for full loads.
