Paula Walsh

I will spend 120 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.

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 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.

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.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, which might include a park, water body, trail, etc.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, work, or other shared space to identify the next steps for saving energy.

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

I will volunteer 40 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about my food supply chains, and complete a food waste audit.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and other products known to contribute to deforestation, and replace or remove them.
