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 adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

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

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

I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.
