Ellen Davis

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

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

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will watch 1 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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
