Tim Overgaauw

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 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 at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

I will work from home 4 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.
