Cathie Holbrook

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will keep a journal this week as I observe ecological principles in action in my backyard, neighborhood or community.

I will find out if my local utilities offer an option for supporting renewable energy investment.

I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community this week.

I will contact local officials and city leaders this week to challenge them to support sustainability policies.

I will calculate my ecological footprint and talk with my family or roommates about way we can reduce our negative enviromental impact.

This week, I will spend 15 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero waste each day this week.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
