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

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

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

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

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

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

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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 sketch or paint outside.

I will replace 60 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities.

I will engage in nature-based activities with my kid(s) for 30 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.)
