Through my Earth Month Ecochallenge feed, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

I will watch 1 documentaries about education or work.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will have a conversation with one or more nonprofit organizations I want to be involved with.

Talking about the importance of sustainability is one of the best ways to advocate for change. To complete this challlenge, have a conversation with someone about sustainable efforts, practices, conservation, or even just how much you love the planet

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.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will replace 5 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will plant pollinator-friendly plants in my area to support local pollinators.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 20 minutes and collect 15 items of litter.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.
