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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 3 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

Use computer design, hand drawing, or anything that's available to create a poster with a positive message to everyone that needs it through these trying times.

Take a song, re-write a song or cover a song. Use the current state of the world to spring light and a message of hope to others
