I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.

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.

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

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend at least 60 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
