Research or test drive an electric car or bike.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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 that I do this.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will take a walk each day.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and/or unsubscribing from catalogs.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
