Brady's actions
Water
Say No to Plastic Straws
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 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Transportation
Go by Bike
I will commute by bike 2 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 4.68 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
Food
Choose Organic Ingredients
I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 1 minute(s) each day.
