Use Reusable Bags

Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals and can end up in habitats that harm wildlife. I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

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.

DAILY ACTION

Freshwater + Oceans

Use a Reusable Water Bottle

It's estimated over a billion water bottles are thrown away each year. Even if they were recycled, that still uses energy and resources from the earth. I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Biodiversity + Wildlife Leave No Trace

Educator Stephanie Kaza advises her students to focus on what they care about most when addressing the enormity of ecological problems. Is there a specific area you feel particularly called to work on?

Today my partner and I went on a short hike near the pittock mansion area. We had our reusable water bottles and some snacks. Of course when we were done with our snacks I kept the wrappers in my bag until we got back home. If there was any litter on the trail (there wasn't much) my partner and I would pick that up as well. We made it into a game, to see which one of us could pick up the most garbage. He won. Despite the rain and cold weather It was a good day though!
