I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will take a 60-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will enjoy 4 meatless meal(s) and/or 4 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided at work or school.
