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

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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.

I will avoid sending 10 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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