I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

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

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

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

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