I will make responsible and sustainable seafood choices.

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

I will examine my living habits while on campus, and make an effort to be more sustainable in my day-to-day living habits. All are invited to complete the checklist, however students will receive certification for their dorm room or apartment.

I will walk, bike, or use public transportation in place of driving my personal vehicle to a destination.

I will keep lights, electronics, appliances, and power strips turned off when not using them.

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 eat lower on the food-chain to reduce my carbon footprint.

I will participate in the composting program on campus or compost my food scraps at home.

I will buy local produce and meats when shopping for groceries.

I will reduce food waste by participating in the composting program, using my reusable bag, and bringing my own utensils.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will read "Loving a Vanishing World" by Emily N. Johnston and "Solutions at Sea" by Emily Stengel.

I will conserve water and energy by only doing full loads of laundry in cold water.

I will save up to 2 gallons (7.5 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by keeping my showers under 5 minutes.
