I will spend at least 50 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

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 save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

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

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

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 sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.
