I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will spend 30 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.
