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 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will enjoy meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will watch documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

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

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will enjoy meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
