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 honor the first days of spring by documenting, either by video or writing about a change in the scenery outside my window. This could be birds nesting, flowers blooming, etc.

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

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

Find an unexpected public place that you can plant flowers seeds in and water over a period of time. Possible locations could be a vacant lot, a median strip, a public park, windowsill, rooftop, balcony, street tree pit etc... D O C U M E N T A T I O N > Take a series of three photos showing: 1) The garden location before you planted the seeds 2) A photo of the flower plants while they are growing, and 3) A photo of the plants after they have bloomed.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will spend 10 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 spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
