At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 5 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 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 spend 5 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

I will replace 15 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.

I will spend 5 minutes each day trying out climate anxiety resources that support mental and psychological well being.

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

I will contact 1 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests, improves their ability to sequester carbon, and supports biodiversity.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.

I will spend 5 minute(s) per day finding out what sustainability and nature-related legislation is on local and state ballots this year.
