Laura Chitty

I will replace 45 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

Throughout the day, I will note the single-use plastics I use and consider the reusable options available to me.

In my community, I will volunteer at a community shelter, food pantry or soup kitchen.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

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 pollinators and plant some in my area.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

I will learn about local, national and international climate action organizations that I could join and connect with one or more.
