"what i stand for is what i stand on. - my school's nature society club!"
Distributed Solar Photovoltaics
I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.
Multiple Industry Solutions
I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.
Recycling
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.
Recycled Paper
I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.
Recycling
I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
Abandoned Farmland Restoration
I will contact 5 elected officials to voice my opinion on the importance of restoring farmland in my region, including both public and private land.
Temperate Forest Restoration
I will plant 3 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
Reduced Food Waste
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
Walkable Cities
I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.
Multiple Solutions
I will support a community garden by volunteering, donating, or advocating for a new or existing one.
Indigenous Peoples' Forest Tenure
I will donate to Native American Rights Fund, which protects tribal natural resources and environmental rights and promotes Native American Human Rights.
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
Plant-Rich Diets
I will source 50 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.
