I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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 upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will enjoy 3 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
