I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will calculate my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
