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

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

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

I will sign up for a Recycler / Composter program in my area.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients per day.

I will bring a homemade lunch everyday to work, as opposed to eating out
