It makes me feel so good! I'm getting rid of it and gaining space back in my home and someone else can benefit from it also. Plus it keeps it out of the landfill.

Shannan's actions
Health and Well-Being
Declutter and Donate
Decluttering can reduce stress and benefit others. I will declutter my home and donate items I no longer need to support others in my community.
Health and Well-Being
Meditate
Meditation helps build resilience and clarity. I will spend 10 minutes each day to meditate or create a moment of silence each day to reflect on things important to me.
Health and Well-Being
Explore Resources for Managing Anxiety
Anxiety can be overwhelming, but resources and strategies can help. I will spend 10 minutes exploring resources that help manage anxiety and stress to support my mental and psychological well being.
Land, Water, and Air
Learn About Water Justice
Access to clean water is a basic right, yet not everyone has it. I will spend 15 minutes learning about water justice issues and who is affected.
Land, Water, and Air
Join a Cleanup Effort
Working together to clean up public spaces helps the environment and builds community. I will participate in 1 community cleanup efforts in my neighborhood or local area.
Wildlife
Learn about Native Species
The world is full of unique species that all play an important role in nature. I will spend 10 minutes learning what the native plants and wildlife are in my region.
Sustainable Innovation
Choose a Product Made with Sustainable Materials
Every choice matters. I will purchase or switch to products made from sustainable or recycled materials to support innovation and reduce environmental impact.
Wildlife
Learn to Be a Responsible Pet Owner
Being a responsible pet owner means minimizing the impact pets have on wildlife by keeping them indoors, never setting them 'free' into nature, and supervising pets when they are outside to prevent them from hunting or disturbing wild animals. This also keeps our pets safe from harm. I will spend 45 minutes learning about ways to ensure my pet’s behavior and care practices protect local wildlife and their ecosystems.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and Well-BeingWhat did you notice about your thoughts or emotions during or after meditation? Did you find it easy or challenging to meditate?
Shannan Smith 4/29/2025 10:19 AMI find it challenging to meditate. I do good with the breathing exercises where I count my inhale, hold it, exhale. I'm working on doing this for longer periods of time, but I do feel so much calmer and less anxious after doing this!-

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand, Water, and AirWhat was the most unexpected piece of trash that was picked up during your local cleanup effort? How does working with others to clean up your community make you feel?
Shannan Smith 4/15/2025 2:51 PMI live in a very tourist heavy area so there is always interesting trash to be found. I think the most interesting thing I found this time was a random airpod. I didn't join a local clean up effort; I pick trash up every time I visit the beach. My wife was with me also picking up trash so I'm going to phrase the two of us as a community! It makes me feel good to remove plastics/trash from the beaches. I like to see how much I can get and then we will recycle what we can to try to keep it out of landfills.-

Shannan Smith 4/08/2025 7:21 AMI purchased a new backpack and board shorts from Quiksilver that was made from recycled bottles and sustainable materials only. -
REFLECTION QUESTION
WildlifeWhat native species did you learn about in your area, and how do they contribute to your local ecosystem or community? How might your community change if these native species disappeared?
Shannan Smith 4/01/2025 10:30 AMI learned about the u'lei. This plant/flower can grow 10-20ft tall and have small white flowers that smell nice. Birds eat the fruit of flower and use the stalks for nests. If this plant were eradicated erosion around our cliffs would increase. -
Shannan Smith 4/01/2025 7:31 AMSo far so good. I learned about Hawaii's native plants today. My favorite one that I learned about is the 'ulei. Pronounced u-lay. It's in the rose family and can grow up to 10 feet tall. Hawaiians used this for spears and digging tools. Small white flowers grow in clusters on this plant. Seeds can be used medicinally also!
