I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day.

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
