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 write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will take a walk outside for 30 minutes each day.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will replace 120 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will spend 20 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness.
