I will use public transit 17 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 2.79 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

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

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

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

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.
