I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will replace 90 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
