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

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 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 replace 1 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

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

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

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

I will plant 5 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
