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

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 spend 5 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will replace 20 minutes per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

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

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

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 2 containers out of the landfill each day.

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