I will spend at least 45 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will replace 15 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the environmental services provided by and the environmental issues affecting temperate forests.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will source 1 meal(s) from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.
