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.

I will spend 3 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, peer, or someone who has a different experience/identity for 3 conversations per day.

Each day, I will make my sustainable actions visible through a lawn sign, bumper sticker, pin, t-shirt, social media or other ways.

I will volunteer hour(s) in my community.

I will mend a piece of clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will replace 120 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 1 minutes learning about gender diversity.

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.

In my community, I will volunteer at a community shelter, food pantry or soup kitchen.

I will write to a school, community learning center, or education leader I admire to express my thanks for their sustainability work and find out how I can get involved.
