I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me each day to raise my awareness of how much waste I produce.

I will replace 20 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I spend 5 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

I will volunteer 8 hours in my community.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

I will replace 2 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
