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 8 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 0 vegan meals each day.

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

I will take a 60-minute walk outside each day around my campus, neighborhood, or local green space to connect with nature.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will walk 1 miles each day instead of driving.

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 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 keep 3 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
