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

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

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.

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

I will express my love and gratitude for our Earth by writing a love letter, poem, or song to Earth.

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.

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.

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

I will spend at least 1 minutes a day using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

If a necessary trip is longer than I can walk or bike, I will use public transit 1 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere, while being sure to follow CDC guidelines for prevention of disease infection or transfer.

I will spend 5 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 only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community helping people who are most at need right now, including elderly and immunocompromised people, people without childcare, and people whose jobs have been affected by social distancing measures.
