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

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

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

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

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