Many common products contain harmful chemicals. I will spend 20 minutes researching chemicals found in products I use, and I will make a list of products I'd like to replace with safer options.

I will work from home 5 days to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will source 2 meals each day from local producers.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will replace 20 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 20 conversations.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units with energy saving units.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about constructive communication.
