Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 75 minute(s) each day.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.
