I will save up to 0.21 lbs (0.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will replace 30 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will install an alternative energy system, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

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

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

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

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.
