michelle's actions
Climate + Air
Consume only Needs vs Wants
The more stuff we consume, the more greenhouse gasses we put into the atmosphere. I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach this month and only buy things I need.
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.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
Grow Local
I will research and plant a garden filled with native fruits, vegetables, and flowers to nurture local wildlife and ecosystems. I will find nearby nurseries that offer plants native to my area.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
Leave No Trace
I will respect and protect biotic communities by practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace whenever I am outside.
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.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.

michelle wasuk 4/02/2024 6:33 AMI live on an island and have seen personally the effects of human disregard to wildlife and nature. Algae blooms are a risk to both human and animal health. Garbage intentionally tossed into waters because it's easy/convenient with people not thinking about the fact that this is drinking water. I see so wildlife struggle in the winter due to our ecosystems being ruined by not planting native and overly manicured lawns with pesticide use. But I also see a lot of conservation happening that gives me hope!
