I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

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

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

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided at work.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will disable screen savers and will put the computer to sleep instead, saving up to 28% % more energy.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will commute by carpool 50 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 100.58 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Especially because of the rainy weather, there is a tendency to turn up the heater which I feel can be a waste of energy and money when you can simply snuggle in extra layers. If this goal is accomplished throughout this entire week, I believe I will contribute to saving a good amount of energy.
