I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

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

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
