At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant a few in my area.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, work, or other shared space to identify the next steps for saving energy.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute or less showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

Each day, I will find one or more items I can donate to a local thrift or resale shop.

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

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will replace 60 minute(s) per day typically spent inside and often with electronics with quality time outside walking, exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, observing nature, or practicing gratitude for nature.
