I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

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

I will set up a visit to tour a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

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