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

Reviews indicate this is both a sobering (scary) and encouraging (solutions) novel about the climate crisis.

I will share a presentation about the history and significance of Earth Day in all of the classes I teach.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will research and tell 10 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

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 10 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.
