I will respect and protect biotic communities by practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals. If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
