I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

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

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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.

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

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
