I will wash my car at the carwash or over my lawn (not in my driveway) to reduce soapy run-off.

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

I will only run the dishwasher when it is completely full to use less water and electricity.

I will wear clothes until they are dirty and only run the washing machine for full loads.

I will make my environmental actions visible with a lawn sign or bumper sticker, or by posting to my social media networks.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will get to know my transit system and take a bus ride anywhere.

I will replace my furnace filter to help keep my HVAC equipment working efficiently.

I will spend 10 minutes checking out all the energy-saving opportunities on Chelan PUD's web page, ConservationMakesCents.org.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.
