Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

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.

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.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 1 HOUR minute(s) each day.

I will replace 5 HOURS incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, neighbors, or classmates.

I will spend 15 MINUTES minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace, dorm, or elsewhere on campus.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
