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 avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

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 reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

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