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

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

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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 commute by bike 6 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 7.62 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
