I will remind my teammates daily to log in for thier challeges, sign up for the eco challenge, or post on the team feed. This is so I have a reminder to be a good team captain and inspire others to make eco friendly changes!

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

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 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.)

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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 avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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

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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

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.
