Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 30 minutes and collect 15 items of litter.

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 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.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

I will replace 30 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 watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

I will watch 2 documentaries about education or work.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

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.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

I will volunteer 4 hours in my community.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

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

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).
