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

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.

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

I will take a walk each day to clear my mind, get some fresh air, and support my physical and mental health as a student.

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

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.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

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 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 replace 45 minutes per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
