I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
