I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

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

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will watch 1 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 enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
