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

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.

If I have to buy paper products, I will only purchase products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

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

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

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

I will use public transit 18 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 3.98 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
