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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will spend at least minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

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

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will commute by carpool mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 0.0 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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 up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
