I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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 visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will make 1 phone call(s) and/or send 1 emails each day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

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 keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
