Samantha Jones

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

I will limit my social media use to once per day and share the impact I see and reflections I have on the feed.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

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 native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about constructive communication.

Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to 1 people or perform 1 random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

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

I will spend 30 about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will take a walk each day.
