I will spend 5 minutes learning about greenwashing and how to avoid it.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

I will work from home 3 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

I will spend 5 minutes learning about how indoor air quality impacts health and commit to taking one action to improve indoor air quality in my living space.

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

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

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.

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

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 60oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 1 random act(s) of kindness.

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 keep 3 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.
