"To be better"
I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
Racial inequity is a sustainability problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.
I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.
I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.
I will spend 15 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.
I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.
I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.
I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.
I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
I will teach my 3 year old daughter how to recycle. About what types to recycle, where it goes, and why. I will get books and read about recycling. I will get posters to put up that show what to recycle.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
