Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will spend quality time with family and friends by playing low-tech game(s) and/or through the spirit of imagination.
