I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 1.21 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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 switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
