Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

Self explanatory. Plant a tree, and take a photo of it. The goal: More trees. Why did I chose it? Because I just did it, and whew...not easy work!

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.

I will express my love and gratitude for our planet by writing a love letter, poem, song or taking a picture. I will share it with others on my social media channels, in person, or as an Earth Month Ecochallenge feed reflection.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes learning about nonprofit organizations that focuses on sustainable consumption and production patterns so that I could participate in their activities.

I will develop a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

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

I will replace 20 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will spend 10 minutes each day studying the toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products around my home.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about equitable food access and how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.
