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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

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

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

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

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