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 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 replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will plant 1 native tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
