Martha Rodriguez

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

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

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will only run the dishwasher when it is completely full to use less water and electricity.

I will wear clothes until they are dirty and only run the washing machine for full loads.

I will replace 4 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 get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
