I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard, or volunteer in my community: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about my watershed and the particular water issues my region faces.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.
