I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will replace 8 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 8 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

Plastic packaging can clog our water ways and the stomachs of sea creatures. I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have 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 spend at least 30 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.
