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 spend 15 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 10 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 engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I want to learn more about one of the wildlife preserves or protected areas in my own region, and how it was historically founded/organized.
