I will reduce stormwater runoff, promote better air quality, and reduce CO2 from our atmosphere by planting 5 tree(s) in my home or in my community.

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 hazardous waste collection drive project.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will plant 10 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 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will replace 3 ounces of animal protein with plant-based protein every day.

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

I will organize or participate in a volunteer community storm drain stenciling campaign.

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