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 use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I spend 30 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.

Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
