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

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.
