I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

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

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 learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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