Plastic packaging can clog our water ways and the stomachs of sea creatures. I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will plant 5 native tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will enjoy 6 meatless meal(s) and/or 5 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will participate in at least (___) daily live events during the virtual St. Louis Earth Day Festival, which spans from April 18-26, 2020.

I will register for a FREE ticket to attend the virtual St. Louis Earth Day Festival which spans from April 18-26, 2020, in order to gain access to daily live content and links that highlight the amazing work in our community that are paving way for a more sustainable future.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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 spend at least 15 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 spend at least 60 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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.
