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

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.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

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

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.
