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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

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 avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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