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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

Whether it's by donating or volunteering, I will research the benefits of low-income solar and find out how I can support low-income solar initiatives in my area.

I will spend 30 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 45 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
