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 enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will watch 6 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.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will replace 45 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 90 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

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

I will pick up 15 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

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

I will host or participate in a trash pickup at a local river or beach that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
