I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.
