Erin Wood

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 replace 15 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

I will spend 15 about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will watch 2 documentaries about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

Environmental issues often impact marginalized communities the most. I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

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

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.
