DAILY ACTION

Water

Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

DAILY ACTIONS

Participant Feed

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

    often, the most marginalized people are the most impacted by environmental harm. Historically marginalized people, including but not limited to POC, LGBT+, etc, are poorer. These poorer communities are the areas decimated by flooding, caused by unprecedented weather due to climate disasters and such. thus, environmental justice is equal justice

    I forget how much a nice day can improve my mood. Today I spent an hour taking a walk around the reservoir and then read for an hour outside by a pond. I felt so content by the way I spent my time today

    it was a bit validating to see how many of the challenges were already things I complete in my day to day life, but in the same vein it has also reminded me that there is so much more I can still do.
