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

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 20 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 spend 20 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

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

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

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will sign up for one of Pennsylvania Resource Council's workshops on composting, rainwater conservation, home health and other conservation topics.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will use the Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant finder to choose a Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant when I dine out.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
