I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 25 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will replace 120 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 spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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 connect with at least 3 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

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