I will spend at least 10 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

Bringing home unique souvenirs from trips you’ve enjoyed is meaningful, and giving people unique gifts from other places is fun. Seek souvenirs and gifts that support local communities and do not cause harm to the environment or wildlife.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 35 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

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

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.

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will replace 45 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.
