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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!).

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