Research & decide on whether or not to buy an electric car

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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 spend at least 60 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

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

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 15 minute(s) each day.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will work from home 3 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.

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

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