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

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

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

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 eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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