I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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.

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

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

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

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
