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

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

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 plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

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

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
