I will spend 15 minutes learning about gender diversity.

I will enjoy 5 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

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 pollinators and plant some in my area.
