I will spend 60 minutes finding out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will spend 60 minutes researching cattle feed and manure management, or visiting a dairy farm to learn about their farming practices.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

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