I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

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

I will spend 15 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will replace 15 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

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