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

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

Whether it's by donating or volunteering, I will research the benefits of low-income solar and find out how I can support low-income solar initiatives in my area.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

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 advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
