I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
