I will spend at least 1 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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

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

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will spend at least 4 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
