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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
