I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will source 2 meals each day from local producers.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.

I will work from home 1 days to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will take a walk each day.
