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 spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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

I will keep countless disposable cups and/or bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 8 locally-sourced meals.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.

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

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 16oz 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 reduce my transportation footprint by driving 10 miles by EV instead of gas-powered vehicle.

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 schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 2 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will make 2 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)
