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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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