I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

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

I will commute by carpool 40 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 80.46 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 5 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
