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 carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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 keep 5 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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug.

I will take a walk each day.
