Karl Wasmuth

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

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

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.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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 not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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