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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will use public transit 22 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 13.84 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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.
