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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will create 1 rain garden(s), bioswale(s), or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will replace 5 ounces of animal protein with plant-based protein every day.

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

I will show my support for a favorite lake, river, stream, wetland or place along the coast.

I will plant 1 square feet of native species, landscape with water-efficient plants in order to reduce general water usage, and minimize fertilizer and pesticide use.

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

I will discover the power of my community working together by completing the WNMC Pledge and pledging to save 10. gallons of water.

I will share an image or video of my project on social media and tag @wylandfoundation along with a caption highlighting the benefits of eco-friendly gardening.

I will organize or participate in a volunteer community beautification project using eco-friendly gardening practices from one or more of the waterwise activities shown in Waterwise Beautification.
