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 use the natural cooling of putting my windows down when in the car instead of the air conditioning.

I will telecommute to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will walk or bike 2 mile(s) per day instead of driving and avoid up to 2.01 pounds of carbon emissions.

I will use clean A/C and furnace filters in my home to ensure they run as efficiently as possible.

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

I will upgrade to energy efficient appliances (like Energy Star) to increase my home's energy effiiciency.

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.

I will use a smart thermostat to increase my home's energy efficiency, saving an average of $130 and 1.6 tons of carbon emissions per year.
