At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 120 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 5 conversations.

I will take a walk outside for 20 minutes each day.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need each day.
