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

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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 at least 2 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.
