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

I will exercise daily for 30 minute(s) per day for two weeks.

I will set up a compost pile in my backyard where I can compost food scraps. I'll teach my family abou how to separate food scraps and place them in the compost pile.

I will reduce food waste by carefully filling my plate and only taking what I can eat.

I will attend May's "Green Drinks" event on Thursday, May 16th (featuring Link Transit).

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers and pesticides.

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

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

I will donate unneeded clothing, books, and household items rather than throwing them away.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will take a walk to collect plastic in my environment, outside my house, in waterways, etc.

I will search the webpage of The Nature Conservancy for 10 species they help protect, 10 natural preserves in Washington they steward and consider one way I could participate in their work in the Moses Coulee Preserves. (Hunter Steward Program, pigmy rabbit habitat repair, trail maintenance, fence repair)

I will read about native bees and take an action to help them.
