I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will take a 60-minute walk outside each day.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 90 minute(s) each day.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
