I will use the resource links provided and spend 20 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will replace 15 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will watch 3 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will enjoy 5 meatless meal(s) and/or 5 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.
