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 25 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

I will spend at least 25 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

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

I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

I will replace 20 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 reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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.
