At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will spend 30 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
