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

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

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

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

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 spend 5 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
