I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

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

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

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.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
