Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will set up a visit or a virtual tour of a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).
