I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will work from home 5 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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 save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
