One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 3 meatless meals and/or 4 vegan meals each day this week.

I will research and plant a garden filled with native fruits, vegetables, and flowers to nurture local wildlife and ecosystems. I will find nearby nurseries that offer plants native to my area.

I will respect and protect biotic communities by practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace whenever I am outside.

Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals and can end up in habitats that harm wildlife. I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will volunteer 10 hours in my community.

Beauty and personal products can create a lot of waste. I will spend 12 minutes learning about the beauty and body products I use to see if they are refillable or recyclable. If not, I will reach out to the manufacturer to advocate for those options.

When traveling, I will seek souvenirs that support local communities and do not cause harm to the environment or wildlife.

The world is full of unique species. I will spend 30 minutes each day learning what the native plants and wildlife are in my region.

Wildlife and biodiversity play an important role on our planet and are being threatened each year. I will spend 40 minutes each day learning about the current status of local or global wildlife and how I can align my actions to support their livelihood.

A healthy world needs both our daily actions and support from larger systems. I will spend 20 minutes learning about how I can use my investments and savings to advance environmental sustainability.

Bees are vital to ecosystems. To help save the bees, I will learn which local flowers provide nectar and plant them in my backyard or in a pot on my balcony.

I will record a video to share why I am taking action this Earth Month, a sustainable swap I've made, and/or a local conservation effort in my area.
