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

I will spend at least 1 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

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

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

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.
