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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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.

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

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.
