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

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

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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 replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 30 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.
