I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will replace 12 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

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 work from home 4 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will spend at least 4 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will disconnect from my email when not working or studying.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.
