I will replace 28 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 save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a 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 4 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 discover the power of my community working together by completing the WNMC Pledge and pledging to save 10. gallons of water.
