I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

I will buy organic cotton and foods grown without the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will host or participate in a trash pickup at a local river or beach that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

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 2 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 watch 2 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.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.
