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

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

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

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