I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

I will buy organic cotton and foods grown without the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will spend at least 5 minute(s) a day researching climate issues or climate solutions in my local area and share with others through my team feed, social media, or conversations with my peers.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area while following CDC guidelines for social distancing.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
