I will reduce the idle electricity load used by "vampire devices," especially when I'm not using my devices, saving an average of $70 and nearly a half ton of carbon emissions per year.

I will keep my car engine's RPMs low by avoiding abrupt accelerations and coasting into stops, improving my fuel economy by 15% –30% .

Instead of flying, I will compare alternative travel methods for my next long-distance trip.

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

I will avoid using disposable plates, cups, or utensils. Instead, I will use long-lasting and reusable materials.

I will read about the energy impact of flying.
