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

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will spend 15 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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.
