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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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.
