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

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

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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 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 Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will spend 10 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 help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 50 items.
