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.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

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 host a house party with 1 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

I will volunteer 2 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

my goal is to always make sure that I write in my planner everyday. it is so that I never forget what homework is. It helps me with organization
