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

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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

I will spend 30 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

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

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.
