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

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 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 keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

I will take a walk each day.
