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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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 use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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 join my neighborhood association or another local group.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will spend 10 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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

I will use the resource links provided and spend 10 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
