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

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

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

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 exercise daily for 15 minute(s) per day for two weeks.

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.
