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 join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

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

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

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

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

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.
