I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

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

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

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

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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