Action Track: Community
Join a Cleanup Effort
I will organize or participate in a trash pickup at a local river, beach, or natural body of water.
Land + Forests
Compost Food Waste
Food in the landfill is one of the main sources of greenhouse gasses. I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.
Land + Forests
Keep My Community Clean
At times it may not feel like it's up to us to keep our community clean and healthy, but we all have a role to play. Each day I am outside, I will pick up any litter I see.
Land + Forests
Borrow Before I Buy
Why buy something I will only use once or a few times if someone nearby has it for me to borrow, and why not share something I have that someone may only need a few times a year? To reduce my consumption and waste, I will create or support the sharing economy with friends, family, colleagues or neighbors.
Participant Feed
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.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? How will you use your compost once it is ready?
Sarah 58010 4/29/2024 2:00 PMWe have worms that will eat most of the food and the rest goes to our city's program. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand + Forests Borrow Before I BuyHow did you participate in the sharing economy? (Consider posting a photo!) What are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?
Sarah 58010 4/29/2024 1:52 PMI borrowed a bag to take on a multiday field trip. I only needed the bag for a few days, so I did not buy it, I just borrowed it. -

Lisa Howe 4/29/2024 2:04 PMThat is a great call out! I didn't think about how eliminating the waste products accessible in the environment also protects the wild life from it!
