I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will commute by carpool 20 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will commute by bike 50 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.
