I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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 use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will start a compost bin where I live.
