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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

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

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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

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

I will work from home 5 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.
