I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

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 make 10 phone calls and/or send 2 emails to public officials to advocate for water habitat protection and clean up in my region.

On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 1 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will replace 1 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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