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

I will plant 2 native tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

To reduce my consumption and waste and support my community, I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community helping people who are most at need right now, including elderly and immunocompromised people, people without childcare, and people whose jobs have been affected by social distancing measures.

My goal is to only do laundry on days when I know I can hang it outside to dry!!

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

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.

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.

I will connect with at least 1 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

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.
