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 upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will keep disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
