I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

I will avoid sending food waste to the landfill by composting my food scraps.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will turn my computer monitor(s) off at my work station when not in use to save energy (I will follow my organization's IT instructions for keeping on, turning off, or restarting computers).

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

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 2 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 8oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
