John Stevens

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.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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.

Each day, I will collect, track, or take a picture of all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to know how much I send to the landfill.

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

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute or less showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

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

I will volunteer 6 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.

I will contact 4 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests, improves their ability to sequester carbon, and supports biodiversity.
