I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or cutlery.

I will spend 10 minutes checking out all the energy-saving opportunities on Chelan PUD's web page, ConservationMakesCents.org. Action Resource > >

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will introduce myself to my Waste Management driver.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will donate unneeded clothing, books, and household items rather than throwing them away.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.
