"To leave a better world for generations to come"
I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
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 make 4 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)
I will spend 20 minute(s) learning about constructive communication.
I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.
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 plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard. Check out resources for which tree species are best to plant in your area.
I will take one action to support local wildlife, such as adding a food or water source, creating shelter/habitat, preventing light pollution, eliminating bird strikes, or another action.
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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
I will only use disinfectants where recommended and required by my organization's Infection Prevention and Control department.
