I absolutely agree. Exposure to natural environments cultivates an appreciation and willingness to support the earth in exchange for all the good experiences it has provided and will provide. Being in nature gives us a personal connection to it.

Arianne's actions
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
Nature
Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.
Waste
Choose Two-Sided Printing
I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided at work or school.
Nature
Practice Gratitude for Earth
I will spend 15 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Community
Support Native Communities
I will use the resource links provided and spend 15 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.
Nature
Support Local Pollinators
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.
