Take a photo of yourself doing something sustainable (either one of your Ecochallenge actions) or something else. Then, go to Comerica's Café (under Colleague Resources on Connect) and add your photo to the Gone Green Photo Album!

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community helping people who are most at need right now, including elderly and immunocompromised people, people without childcare, and people whose jobs have been affected by social distancing measures.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals. If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
