Tia Nina

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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 plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will make 2 phone call(s) and/or send 3 emails each day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.
