I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

I will take a walk outside for 10 minutes each day.

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

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

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 25 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

I will watch 5 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.
