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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

I will spend at least 30 minute(s) a day researching climate issues or climate solutions in my local area and share with others through my team feed, social media, or conversations with my peers.

Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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

I will plant 4 native tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend at least 90 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

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