Patrick Wendt

I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard, or volunteer in my community: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will replace 45 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 cook 1 meal(s) with zero waste each day.

Throughout the day I will track my purchases and then research the companies making these goods.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 spend 15 minutes learning about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

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

I will spend 5 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.
