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 each day that I do this.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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

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

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
