Through social media or on the Earth Day Ecochallenge feed, I will share my favorite environmentally friendly habit with my friends, even if it’s not an Earth Day action.

I will spend 30 minutes researching local organizations and businesses in my community, then support one of them by writing a testimonial or positive review, ordering curbside, making a donation to my favorite nonprofit, or supporting them in another way.

I will express my love and gratitude for our Earth by writing a love letter, poem, or song to Earth.

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 buy organic cotton and foods grown without the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will spend at least 100 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

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

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options in my state and/or community.

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.
