Tammy Taunt

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 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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will reduce polluted runoff and support groundwater recharge where possible by replacing 1000 square feet of concrete with permeable surfaces.

I will plant 2 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 use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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