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

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 not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

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 make my sustainability actions visible with a lawn sign or bumper sticker, or by posting to my social media networks.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will donate unneeded materials to craft shops or places like the Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse.
