I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will spend 60 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

Similarly to the annual physical action, going to the dentist is important to know your health and how you can improve.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
