I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I will sketch or paint outside.

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

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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.
