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

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 purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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

I will increase the cultural diversity of my friend group.

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.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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

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

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

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

I will water my lawn in the early morning hours to reduce water waste during the heat of the day.

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

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

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