I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 50 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will avoid sending 10 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug.

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 replace 50 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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 naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.
