If I end up having water, I don't plan on drinking I promise to not let that water go to waste by using the water to water a plant I see outside that looks like it needs it. By doing this I am not letting that water going to waste and it will help the beautiful plant grow and eventually over time become a grownup plant and begin to produce oxygen for the world and help the bees pollinate other plants.

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 switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

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

I will start to think more carefully about how much paper I waist during an average day where I am going to the bathroom, washing my hands, blowing my nose, taking notes in class, printing out paper or when I grab napkins when I eat any meal during the day. I choose this because if we try to use less paper there will be no need to buy more paper which means there will be no need to chop down trees to make more paper and waist it again.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

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