I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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 write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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