Tanner McFarlane

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. digital/virtual attendance, vacation without air travel).

I will spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and adopt at least one sustainable fashion practice.

I will shop at a small business owned or staffed by underrepresented members of my community.

I will watch 2 documentaries about racism and racial injustice.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about impact investing and/or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant a few in my area.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will spend 30 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

I will spend 30 minutes finding out how to recycle in my region, where landfills and/or waste sites are situated in my region, and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will spend 30 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

Each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

Each day when I don't need to travel by car, I will use muscle-powered transportation and other alternative forms (e.g., walking, biking, car share, public transit, etc.).

I will replace 60 minute(s) per day typically spent inside and often with electronics with quality time outside walking, exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, observing nature, or practicing gratitude for nature.
