I will host or participate in a trash pickup at a local river or beach that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

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

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

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 90 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

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

Reach out to small businesses in the area and ask how I may be able to support them

Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.

To reduce my consumption and waste and support my community, I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will replace 90 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 connect with at least 7 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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will watch 3 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.
