I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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

I will enjoy 5 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

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 take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

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