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

I will spend 30 minutes researching the impact of old harmful refrigerants on our environment.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend at least 60 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will watch 2 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 spend at least 30 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.
