Through social media or on the Earth Day Ecochallenge feed, I will share my favorite environmentally friendly habit with my friends, even if it’s not an Earth Day action.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

For every pound of personal, business, or event carbon offsets purchased online with the promo code EARTH through Thursday, April 30, 2020, terrapass will purchase and retire an equal amount of carbon offsets.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

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

I will replace 60 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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will volunteer 10 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 5 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.
