I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

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

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

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

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

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

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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

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.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
