I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.
