I will replace 1-5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

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 advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.
