I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will avoid sending 6 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
