Doreen's actions

Take the Pre-Survey

Take the Pre-Event Survey

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

Go Get a Check Up

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Soil and Food

Learn How to Save Pollinators

Bees and other pollinators are vital to ecosystems and agriculture. I will spend 15 minutes learning how to support local pollinators and take at least one action—such as planting native flowers or avoiding pesticides—to help sustain resilient ecosystems and harvests.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Biodiversity and Wildlife

Choose Native Plants

Native plants provide food and shelter for local wildlife and help ecosystems adapt to change. I will choose native plants for my yard, balcony, or community space instead of non-native or ornamental species to support biodiversity resilience.

COMPLETED

Biodiversity and Wildlife

Speak Up for Wildlife Protection

Wildlife needs support from people. I will take 2 actions, such as volunteering, signing petitions, contacting leaders, or sharing information on social media, to help protect habitats and species.

UNCOMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Water

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.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Biodiversity and Wildlife

Reduce Light Pollution

Too much artificial light can confuse and harm animals, especially those active at night. I will reduce sources of outdoor light or switch to wildlife-friendly fixtures to support healthy habitats.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

    How does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet? What fruits or vegetables did you try this week, and which was your favorite?

    I didn't try anything new this week, but I have learned that Kiwi is a great cancer fighting fruit with great fiber when you eat the skin. I slice the Kiwi and the skin taste fine! Enjoy!

      i used to cut all my fruits and remove all the skinds, but now i grow my own and i buy organic and i eat most of the skins that i can digest, and i have to say it does make a big difference in taste :-)

    This was such an awesome story I saw this morning on the local news, I live in Las Vegas, NV. One of the casinos on the strip, Resorts World, celebrated its 5th annual Earth Day ladybug release on April 22, 2026, releasing over 100,000 to 105,000 ladybugs to naturally protect landscaping. How great was this!

    Did you know that Concrete production is a major carbon emitter? I watched a story on CBS Sunday morning that covered this topic which reviewed how to make the production of 30 billion tons of concrete more sustainable. Worth the education!

      It’s eye-opening to see the scale of concrete’s carbon impact. Content like this highlights the importance of driving more sustainable solutions while continuing to support global development.

    CBS Sunday did a story about Wave Energy and I thought it was very interesting. Wave Energy is a renewable power source generated by harnessing the kinetic and potential energy of the ocean surface waves. This particular company in the story is helping to reduce the footprint of AI data centers. It is worth checking out and getting educated! Enjoy!

    We need to protect our Earth, but we also need to enjoy it! Today in Las Vegas, it’s 75 degrees with clear blue skies. I’m definitely going to soak it in once I’m off work.

    My focus continues to be reducing plastic use and want to remind everyone it is the little things that count. Start by carrying reusable bags, bottles and containers, and chose products with less packaging!

    Today I am reflecting on recycling since today was trash day. I walk everything out daily to the recycle trash in hopes that Republic Services recycles everything they say they do!
