Replace natural grass lawn with synthetic grass. Reduces water, no fertilizer nor mowing of grass

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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.

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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 20 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 1.42 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.
