I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and deterimine if it is right for me.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.
