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

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 my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.

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 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 enjoy 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 15 minutes each day.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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 work from home 6 days to avoid my commute's carbon output.
