I will use a clothesline or the dryer's automatic setting (not the timer).

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

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

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will replace my showerhead with an Energy Star-certified low-flow showerhead.

I will maintain a steady highway speed on the highway, accelerate and decelerate gently, not idle my car for more than 2 minutes, and make sure my tires are inflated.

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 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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 4 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
