Every day we will tend to our garden to learn about how to grow food and to reduce the carbon footprint of our meals

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 25 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

We watched a documentary calling Dream Big, about engineering and how it can help people in need. We learned about renewable energy, which is energy that you can re use without running out, like solar. We saw cars that were powered by solar energy. We also learned that cities, if they are not built correctly can collapse, and that in the future most of the people will live in cities and so they need to be designed more efficiently, with trees, playgrounds, and gardens.

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.

To conserve water, shower for 5 minute

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 connect with at least 2 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.
