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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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 write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.
