I will spend at least 20 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will buy organic cotton and foods grown without the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will spend 015 minutes researching local organizations and businesses in my community, then support one of them by writing a testimonial or positive review, ordering curbside, making a donation to my favorite nonprofit, or supporting them in another way.

I will replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will spend at least 015 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

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

I will volunteer 5 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.

If possible, I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

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