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

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

Lighting makes up approximately 10% of hospitals' energy use on average. I will save energy by turning off unnecessary lights when not in use and when I am the last one to leave a space.

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

I will recycle 2 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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