I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will find local resources for learning about my watershed and the particular water issues my region faces.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. This week, I'll say "no" to plastic bags at the store and plastic straws in all of my drinks.

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.

This week, I will spend 40 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will watch The Story of Bottled Water to learn more about bottled water's impacts on the environment.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) each day this week.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will start a 'Take Back the Tap' campaign on my campus.
