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

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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

I will work from home 5 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

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

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

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