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 find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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 per day that I do this.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or utensils.
