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

I will avoid sending 6 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need each day.

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 tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

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.
