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

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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

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

I will look for simple ways to reduce water waste, like reporting slow-to-heat faucets or learning how insulation helps in homes and dorms.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 130 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.

If allowed, I will install a low-flow showerhead in my dorm or apartment to save water. If not, I’ll advocate for them or look for other water-saving habits.

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.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 9 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.
