I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will turn off lights, electronics, and appliances when not in use to save energy.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 3. Doing so will prevent 0.34 pounds of food per household member from entering the landfill.

I will shorten my showers to 5 minutes to save water and reduce energy use - each time saving up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water!

Fallen leaves, logs, and brush provide shelter and food for wildlife. I will leave natural features in my yard or community space to help strengthen biodiversity and soil resilience.
