I will use public transit 6 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 2.45 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will walk 2 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 2.1 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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 collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
