If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

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

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

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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