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

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

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

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) per day.

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 lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will commit to getting 15 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

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

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

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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.
