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

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

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

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

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

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

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!).

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.
