I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard, or volunteer in my community: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 120 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

Throughout the day, I will note the single-use plastics I use and consider the reusable options available to me.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

I will call my elected officials to express my thanks for their work, or to advocate for more environmental action in both policy and practice.

Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy 1 sustainable seafood meal(s) each day.

Each day, I will spend 20 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).
