I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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

I will visit Link Transit's website at linktransit.com to learn what route(s) I can utilize for my most common travel.

I will follow Link Transit on Facebook and/or Instagram.

I will maintain a steady highway speed on the highway, accelerate and decelerate gently, not idle my car for more than 2 minutes, and make sure my tires are inflated.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water.

I will visit Sustainable Wenatchee's website and sign up for their newsletter to learn about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

I will sign a petition in support of an environmental or social initiative.
