Racial inequity is a sustainability problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will volunteer 4 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will spend at least 5 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 use the resource links provided and spend 5 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 create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

Get biodiesel as much as possible
