I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

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

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

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 3 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options in my state and/or community.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
