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

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

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

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

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

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will disconnect from my email when not working or studying.
