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 commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will introduce myself to my Waste Management driver.

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

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

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

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 adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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