I will plant 5 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 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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

I will replace 4 ounces of animal protein with plant-based protein every day.

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

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.

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

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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