Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending 7 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
Food
Smart Seafood Choices
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
Health
Healthy Sleep
Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 8 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
