I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 2 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

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

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I will take a walk outside for 15 minutes each day.

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