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

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

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

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

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

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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