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

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

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.
