I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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.

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

I will reduce stormwater runoff, promote better air quality, and reduce CO2 from our atmosphere by planting 3 tree(s) in my home or in my community.
