Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 5 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

I will use public transit 2 miles each day and avoid sending CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, classmate, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 2 conversations.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will replace 30 minutes per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will only check my email during school or study hours, using my personal time for activities that support my well-being and align with my values.

Tell us what you thought! Take a short survey about your experience to help us improve future events. It only takes a few minutes — and when you complete the survey, you'll earn points!

I will replace 10 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.
