Coral Byrd

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will work from home 4 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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