I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will source 80 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will take time to learn more about United Way and other nonprofit organizations active in my community and pledge a financial donation through BEA’s United Way campaign.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org and download the app to commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will contact a local installer/distributor to see if a solar water heater makes sense for my house.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.

I will cook 2 meals with zero-waste each day.

I will visit a coastal or ocean site to experience the ecosystem and look for the presence of macroalgae/seaweed.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

Using the Seafood Watch guide, I will feature a sustainable seafood ingredient in a new recipe.

I will plant 3 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
