I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

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 marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Bringing home unique souvenirs from trips you’ve enjoyed is meaningful, and giving people unique gifts from other places is fun. Seek souvenirs and gifts that support local communities and do not cause harm to the environment or wildlife.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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

I will spend at least 2 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will connect with at least 2 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

I will watch 2 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.
