I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will save up to 15 gal (56 L) of water a day or 450 gal (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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

I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will organize one of Ecochallenge.org's discussion courses, such as Powering a Bright Future, with classmate, friends, co-workers, or family.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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

I will walk 2 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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 replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

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