I will commute by bike 2 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 3.57 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 5 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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