I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.

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

Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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

I will keep 1 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

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

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
