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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will have an irrigation professional audit my irrigation system 1x per year to save water, money, and reduce runoff.

I will reduce stormwater runoff, promote better air quality, and reduce CO2 from our atmosphere by planting 2 tree(s) in my home or in my community.

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.

I will organize or participate in a volunteer litter clean up to keep trash from entering our storm drains and waterways.
