I will attempt to produce zero waste for 2 days. I want to start small to see what it would take to continue this lifestyle with my family.

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

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

I will cut out or reduce all artificial sweeteners in my diet, especially acesulfame potassium, aspartame, sucralose and saccharin - all which can decrease human health and pollute our waterways.

I will choose organic as often as possible to reduce exposure to pesticides, which are unhealthy for me as well as the planet.

I will make my own cleaning products using non-toxic ingredients - improving air quality at home or school and also protecting human and environmental health.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug.

I will check labels on my shampoo, lotions and/or beauty products. I'll replace products that use known carcinogens such as formaldehyde, cocamide diethanolamine, DMDM hydantoin or benzene.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will connect with a local nonprofit and find out how I can get involved.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

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

I will spend 30 minute(s) per day thinking quietly, practicing meditation, yoga, working out, or doing another mindful activity.

I will write down three things that I am grateful for each day OR reach out to thank someone who's doing something positive for our world's health and well-being each day.

I will take a 60-minute hike in nature.

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 noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will journal each day about my experiences in nature.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) per day.
