I want to source more food locally and my Farmers Market is closed.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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 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.

To reduce my consumption and waste and support my community, I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community helping people who are most at need right now, including elderly and immunocompromised people, people without childcare, and people whose jobs have been affected by social distancing measures.

I will connect with at least 1 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
