I will keep 10 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 3 locally-sourced meals.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 8 items.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard. Check out resources for which tree species are best to plant in your area.

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

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

I will recycle 10 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.
