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

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

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
