I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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 spend at least 5 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 5 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

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

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.
