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

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will enjoy meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

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

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

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

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