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

I will bring in collected single use plastics for aNY Bag Project to ISB to help re-purpose single use plastics into reusable bags and reduce plastic waste in my community.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

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

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

Access to public transportation is a social justice issue! I will learn about the need for public transportation in my community and tell 30 friends or classmates each day about the issue.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
