Action Track: Community

Volunteer in my Community

I will volunteer 8 hours in my community.

UNCOMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Land + Forests

Explore My Area

When we explore natural spaces around us, our connections with them change. I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, office, or campus (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Climate + Air

Consume only Needs vs Wants

The more stuff we consume, the more greenhouse gasses we put into the atmosphere. I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach this month and only buy things I need.

COMPLETED 1
DAILY ACTION

Biodiversity + Wildlife

Grow Local

I will research and plant a garden filled with native fruits, vegetables, and flowers to nurture local wildlife and ecosystems. I will find nearby nurseries that offer plants native to my area.

COMPLETED 1
DAILY ACTION

Freshwater + Oceans

Join a Cleanup Effort

I will organize or participate in a trash pickup at a local river, beach, or natural body of water.

UNCOMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Land + Forests

30 for 30 in Nature

Studies have shown that when we spend consistent time in nature, our health improves, our creativity increases, and our connection to the planet gets stronger. Each day of the Ecochallenge, I will spend 30 minutes outside (in a large or small patch of nature), then share my observations, reflections, and learnings on the feed.

How did it feel to plant something native in your area to support local wildlife and biodiversity? What did you plant? Please consider adding a photo.

It feels nice to get your hands dirty while feeling the heat of the day shine on your back. I am thankful to have planted the garden at mom's so we can benefit from it all summer. We have tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, lettuces, cabbage, brussel sprouts, etc.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Land + Forests

What have you noticed about how it feels to spend consistent time outside?
Amanda Moore 4/15/2024 6:49 AM
The newness of spring and its crispy chill in the air is quite refreshing and brings about an idea that change is about evolving and is necessary for growth. Earth Month is a great kickoff to being outside and taking in the sights, smells, sounds and feelings of the outdoors. It gets us out of the winter funk and gloomy weather, and into the brightness and approaching warmth of summer. I especially take time out during this season to embrace the outdoors and try to hike somewhere new. Get out and breathe consistently and you will be motivated in other areas of life!

  I am more energetic when I spend time outside. I never want the day to end LOL But when it does, I feel like I sleep better. I know this is directly related to the increased Vitamin D and reduced electronic stimulation I get from my phone/TV.
  Also, when I am outside, my kids are as well.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Climate + Air

Consuming only what we need vs. what we want can be really hard to do. What has been challenging about committing to this action for a month? What have you learned about yourself? Will you change any habits going forward?
Amanda Moore 4/05/2024 6:58 AM
Society has created a high consumption mentality. We need the newest and best, most high tech, etc. Rather than replacing my phone this go around when the screen cracked (like I normally would), I had it repaired instead. Did I really want the latest model with better features - YES! But, do I really NEED the newest model - NO!

  I agree, society pushes more, more, more and it takes focus to be intentional with consumption.

  I agree Amanda. I usually keep my cell phone until I start having serious issues with it. I have had phones repaired before too instead of getting a new one. This helps our environment!
