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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 7 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day
