Andrea Valentino

I will spend 30 learning about the past and present indigenous or first nation communities in my regions impacted by colonization, and what I can do to be supportive.

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

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 spend 10 minutes learning about palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and other products known to contribute to deforestation, and replace or remove them.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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

I will reduce food waste, excess carbon and save money by planning my daily and weekly menus so that I only purchase the ingredients needed.

I will replace 10 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 spend 10 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

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 spend 10 minute(s) per day finding out what sustainability and nature-related legislation is on local and state ballots this year.
