Ashley Collins

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will spend at least 15 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will host a house party with 3 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

I will spend 10 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
