An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
