Allyson Ferry

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 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 reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
