I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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.

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 use public transit 30 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 15.25 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
