I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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