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 select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will keep 2 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

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