I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

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

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

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

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.
