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

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

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 adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
