I will spend 30 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about equitable food access and how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the climate and natural disaster risks in my area.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

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

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

I will replace 180 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 enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 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.

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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.
