After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will donate to nonprofits that install clean cookstoves in low-income countries.

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

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

I will take a walk for 6 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.
