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.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

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

Getting high in a good way.

It's fun and it cleans you AND it makes you love the earth!

I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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 spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

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 6 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

If possible, I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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