I will sketch or paint outside.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water.

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

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 limit my social media use to once per day.

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

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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