Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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 keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

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