• buy detergents in pod form
• research places to properly recycle “difficult” items like electronics, batteries, #6 plastic, styrofoam and prescription drugs
• start composting
• learn about places you can purchase sustainably produced clothing
• vow to consider energy efficiency when buying new items
• conduct a home energy-efficiency audit
• landscape your yard with water conservation in mind
