I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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

I will source 5 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

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

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

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

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

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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 spend at least 20 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.
