I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

I will shop from women-owned business(es) today.
