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

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will contact 1 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and improves their ability to sequester carbon and nourish biodiversity.

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

I will write 1 letter or email to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly and/or environmentally just policies.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 3 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
