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

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will replace 5 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will spend 1 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

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.
