I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

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

I will host a house party with 5 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

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.

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

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
