I will save up to 8 gallons (32 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow shower-head.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will work from home 3 days to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

What suggestions do you have for NW Natural to save energy in the way we operate our facilities and our vehicles? Have you observed any energy wasting equipment or behaviors at work?

Processed foods can be less nutritious for our bodies and take more energy and water to produce, which can create more waste, pollution, and offer less benefit to our health. I will enjoy 2 meals per day free of processed foods.

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.
