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

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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

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

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

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

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.
