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

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

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

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