I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community while observing best practices in my region for not spreading COVID-19.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, neighbors or classmates.

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 avoid sending 10 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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

I will spend at least 25 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 1 phone call(s) and/or send 1 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

I will offer to help 3 person(s) who are in need each day.

I will spend 20 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will spend 20 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will meet 1 new neighbor(s) each day.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
