I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

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

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

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

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.
