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.

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.

I will replace 20 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 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

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

I will spend at least 15 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 15 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

I will spend at least 15 minutes a day using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

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

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
