I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will buy organic cotton and foods grown without the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
