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

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

I will fix faucets that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet per day.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will avoid sending .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day.

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

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

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will replace 15 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities.

I will take a walk each day.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will pick up litter from my street and where ever I find it on my daily walks and dispose of it accordingly. My goal is to remove dirty garbage from our streets and pollution runoff into our sewer system. This is something anyone can do and if everyone did it, the world would be nicer.
