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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will only purchase bulk food items and avoid all single-package items.

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

I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will install a low flow or dual flush toilet. Action Resource > >

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

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

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.
