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 reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

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

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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 sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

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

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

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

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 spend at least 30 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.
