"My mission this year is to make an impact on my local area by supporting local farmers, caring for the treehouse gardens, and learning about local pollinators and naturally available foods."
I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.
I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.
I will use the resource below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.
I will tend to a garden each day, work on starting one, or find a local community garden to get involved with.
Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.
I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
I will spend 30 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.
I will spend 30 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
