I will spend 5 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will lobby my dining hall to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend 5 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will spend 10 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.
