I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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.

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

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

I will refuse 1 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 3 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

I will be sure to turn off lights in the house that don't need to be on when I leave a room.

I will use reusable metal straws in place of plastic straws.
