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

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.

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

Through my social media channels, in person, or as an Earth Month Ecochallenge feed reflection, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

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.

"Mushroom Madness" will take place on April 6th at 1:00pm, on the third floor of the library (room L-307). Learn how mushrooms can be a solution to plastic waste.

Read a library book that covers either SDG #13 (Climate Action), #14 (Life Below Water), or #15 (Life on Land). Ask the librarian for help to find relevant titles.

I will replace 15 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.

Each day, I will spend 15 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

Tired of overcrowded and infrequent buses? Let's improve public transit by sending your concerns to the STM. Let them know that the 419 needs to be addressed. Write to them based on your own frustrating experiences with this line.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

Celebrate Earth Day in the Agora on Thursday April 21 from 10am-3pm! Pick up some seedlings, learn how to make a seed bomb, learn about cycling, and much more!
