Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 30 minutes and collect 10 items of litter.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straws out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will call or write 1 public officials per day to advocate for more green spaces around my town, particularly in neighborhoods that currently lack equitable access to green spaces.

I will journal each day about my experiences in nature.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
