Cat Curto

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

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).

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
