I will create 2 rain garden(s), bioswale(s), or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will "hydrozone" my yard and garden so that low water-use, moderate water-use and high water-use plants are grouped together.

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

I will plant 30 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 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 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
