On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 10 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will watch 4 documentaries about climate change.

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

Each day, I will spend 20 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 1 people about what I learned.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy 1 sustainable seafood meals each day.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.
