I will disconnect from my email when not at work or school, using my personal time for endeavors that help me live out my values.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will spend 20 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community while observing best practices in my region for not spreading COVID-19.

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 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will take a walk outside for 20 minutes each day.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
