I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

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 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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

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 replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) 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 take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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

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