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

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will replace minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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.

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.
