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

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.

I will respect and protect biotic communities by practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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