I will commute by carpool 1 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 1.11 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

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

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

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 010 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

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

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
