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 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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will take a walk outside for 10 minutes each day.

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

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

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

I will save up to 15 gal (56 L) of water a day or 450 gal (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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