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 cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will replace 30 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 find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

I will replace 8 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 150 minutes planning out a staycation in my region. For reference, one several hour flight releases the equivalent of nearly 14% of the annual emissions from a car.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will contact my energy company to find out how to sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I spend 20 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.
