I will opt out of junk mail lists to reduce wasted material and energy.

I will reuse materials instead of buying new ones and donate materials that I no longer use.

I will avoid unnecessary printing and "go digital" whenever possible.

I will take the stairs instead of the elevator for the benefit of my health and to save energy.

I will combine errands and avoid multiple trips to increase my own time efficiency and to minimize my vehicle emissions.

I will minimize the amount of time spent idling in my car to avoid wasting fuel.

I will make it a habit to only run a full dishwasher to save water and energy.

The average American wastes over $400 and tons of energy on uneaten food per year, I will save that money and reduce the amount of food I waste by effectively meal planning, not overordering, and composting or donating leftover food.

I will make it a habit to always turn off the lights when I leave a room.

To avoid excessive heating and cooling, I will turn the thermostat down a few degrees in the winter and up in the summer.
