On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 2 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

We've had a bit a rough time with the cyclone season in NZ, and our beautiful beaches have been hammered, the habitat of many endangered birds has been compromised. The NZ beaches are reasonably clean otherwise. What I look for are bits of glass, which can be found occasionally. Some of those have smooth edges, sandblasted in the waves, but some are new and create a serious hazard for the beach goers.
