BRENDA FARRELL

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will refuse 14 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

I will spend at least 65 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 5 locally-sourced meals.

I will plant 3 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard. Check out resources for which tree species are best to plant in your area.

I will take one action to support local wildlife, such as adding a food or water source, creating shelter/habitat, preventing light pollution, eliminating bird strikes, or another action.

I will learn one new fact about my community each day (history, geography, local wildlife, resources, programs, current issues, goals, etc.)

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, or walking and biking instead.

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 11 items.
