I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will join my neighborhood association, student government, or another local group of decision makers.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
