I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will watch 1 documentaries about systemic racism to learn more about how it affects us and the planet.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 3 gallons (11 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

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 repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

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

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.
