Jason Saves The World

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

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 10 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

I will commute by carpool 10 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 20.12 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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 20 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.
