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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.
