Kapil Shakya

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will take a walk each day.

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

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
