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 enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 5 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

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

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

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 20 items.

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

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

I will make 3 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)
