I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

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

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
