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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 each day that I do this.
