I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

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 spend at least 5 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

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.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will replace 30 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 visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

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

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.

I will connect with at least 4 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 use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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