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 meet 1 new neighbor(s) each day.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will use public transit 2 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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