I was in seattle and explored a lot of what the forests had to offer and it made me feel much more in touch and in tune with nature

Atlas's actions
Transportation
Stay on the Ground
Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
Nature
Explore My Area
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
Nature
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 60 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.)
Food
Reduce Animal Products
I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Daylyn Reese 12/01/2023 11:27 AMOne of my favorite things to do when I feel stuck on homework is to go out and take a walk. I find that it's very beneficial in getting my creativity working again and I frequently come back refreshed.
