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

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next 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.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
