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.

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

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cups to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

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

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
