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

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

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

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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

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

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

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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

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