I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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

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

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

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

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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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.
