Tanya's actions
Climate + Air
Calculate My Carbon Impact
Carbon emissions can show up in many surprising ways in our life. 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.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
Beauty and Personal Products
Beauty and personal products can create a lot of waste. I will spend 30 minutes learning about the beauty and body products I use to see if they are refillable or recyclable. If not, I will reach out to the manufacturer to advocate for those options.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
Plastic in Clothing and Water
Synthetic clothing can contain plastic and shed harmful microplastics into our water. I will use a microplastics catcher in my laundry, or install a microplastics filter for my washing machine.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
Save the Bees
Bees are vital to ecosystems. To help save the bees, I will learn which local flowers provide nectar and plant them in my backyard or in a pot on my balcony.
Freshwater + Oceans
Understand My Water Footprint
Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.
Action Track: Community
Plant Trees
Trees capture carbon and produce oxygen that is essential to life on earth. I will support this important piece of nature by organizing or joining a community group to plant 10 native trees in my community, public parks, office location, campus or backyard.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Community Plant TreesHow is planting trees good for your mental, physical, and spiritual health?
Tanya Warren 4/30/2024 1:49 PMTrees are a life force, they literally help us to breathe! whilst i couldn't physically plant more in my garden, beside a new apple tree in a pot - i managed to find companies that will plant trees when you purchase from them.. so far i have 10 in my name and will continue to use this recycled clothes company whilst they continue to plant in my name. -
Tanya Warren 4/30/2024 1:47 PMPlanted 7 more trees via a company that i purchased some clothes from ! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONBiodiversity + Wildlife Beauty and Personal ProductsWhat new insights did you gain about the skincare products you use? Did you reach out to advocate for refillable or recyclable packaging?
Tanya Warren 4/22/2024 12:43 AMresearched the Make up that i've been using, really pleased to see that it's sustainably sourced and uses clean ingredients. Really pleased to see a full list of the ingredients and 'excluded' ingredients, so that i could see no palm oil etc being used. No testing on animals and packaging that is minimal plastics. They are also part of the Pact Collective. Disapointed this is only for US & Canada, so have emailed them for details for UK. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFreshwater + Oceans Understand My Water FootprintWhat did you learn about your water footprint and what are you going to do to reduce and be aware of the water you use?
