"My mission is to intentionally engage in sustainable practices in the hopes to better my impact on the environment and to find ways that I can continue to do this after the challenge ends."
I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
I will replace 60 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.
I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.
I will spend 20 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.
I will spend 20 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.
I will use the resource links provided below and spend 20 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 purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
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 learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.
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 plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
