I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will organize one of NWEI's discussion courses on food sustainability, 'Menu for the Future' or 'Hungry for Change', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.
