I will spend 15 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

I will spend 15 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will spend 15 minutes each day studying the toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products around my home.
