I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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.

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

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 shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will take a walk each day.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will save up to 8 gallons (32 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow shower-head.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work, on campus and/or in the spaces I frequent.

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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 find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.
