If clean energy on my home is not an option, I will find a community solar project in my area and sign up as a customer/subscriber/owner.

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

I will drive the speed limit to increase my fuel economy by 7% –14% .

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

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

If clean energy on my home is not an option, I will enroll in a legitimate green power program to encourage sourcing of electricity from renewable energy sources.

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

After conducting online research about available models, I will complete a test drive at a local dealer.

I will avoid keeping or transporting heavy objects in the car because this practice more quickly depletes fuel, improving my fuel economy by 1% for every 100 pounds of excess weight removed.

I will reduce unnecessary purchases by only buying what I truly need.
