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.

Plant a Tree
SDG 15
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 1 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 15 minutes and collect 50 items of litter.

Kristina Franklin 4/19/2023 9:46 AMI planted an alder and a flowering red currant- both natives! I decided to try to naturescape my backyard. The beautification will bring me joy every time I look out my kitchen and dining room windows. Weeding and preparing the area to plant the trees was physically demanding since my backyard is a very steep hill.
