I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

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

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 keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 each day that I do this.

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

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

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.

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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.
