I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

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 spend at least 20 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

I will respect and protect biotic communities by practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

To reduce my consumption and waste and support my community, I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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