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 limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 30 minute(s)

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

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.

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
