Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 1 phone call(s) and/or send 1 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

I will call or write 1 public officials per day to advocate for more green spaces around my town, particularly in neighborhoods that currently lack equitable access to green spaces.

Check out the Be The Change Challenge in Virgin Pulse and share one thing you learned in the reflection question section of this action.

Did you know that NW Natural has our own Energy Team? Check out the Strategic Energy Management (SEM) page on the Hub and provide one energy saving suggestion in the reflection question section of this action. (Note: The SEM information is on a tab on the SEEC page. )

I will spend at least 5 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

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 replace 15 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 volunteer 3 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.
