I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

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

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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

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

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 spend at least 8 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

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 spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
