I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will work from home 30 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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