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

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

Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals. If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.
