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

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 enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will plant 3 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 help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.

I will replace 15 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about greenwashing and how to avoid it.

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

I will spend 5 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.
