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

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 pollinators and plant a few in my area.

During the work day, I will schedule time for breaks to practice work-life balance.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and adopt at least one sustainable fashion practice.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases and identify my spending habits.

I will spend 15 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

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 contact 2 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests, improves their ability to sequester carbon, and supports biodiversity.
