Nathan Niemczyk

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will offer to help 3 person(s) who are in need each day.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

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

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will spend 60 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

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

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