I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

I will save up to 15 gal (56 L) of water a day or 450 gal (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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

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

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
