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

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will take a walk outside for 30 minutes each day.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will work from home 30 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.
