I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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.

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

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

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
