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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will commit to getting 7 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will disable screen savers and will put the computer to sleep instead, saving up to 28% more energy.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

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

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.

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