Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will install a greywater catchment system in my home.

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

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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