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 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 spend at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.
