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.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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