Action Track: Building Resilience
Learn More about Food Apartheid
What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?
Community
Support A Sharing Economy
I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, neighbors, or classmates.
Transportation
Advocate for Greener Vehicles

Nature
Support Local Pollinators
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
Community
Research Restorative Justice
I will spend 10 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.
Community
Talk To My Friends and Classmates
I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 3 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.
Energy

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will host a watch party to screen a documentary about an issue that matters to me.

Personal Waste Audit
I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.
Waste
Use Reusable Bags
If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
Energy
Switch to Cold Water
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Energy
Power Down the Computer
I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
Water
Brush My Teeth Without Running Water
I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
Water
Use Reusable Bottles
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Use Reusable BottlesWhat are some of the needs that water meets or benefits that water provides for you?
Joseph Stanphill 3/08/2021 8:28 AMEvery day I make sure to drink 2 bottles of a reusable 2.5 liter bottle while I am at work. I didn't realize that it takes two normal sized plastic bottles to hold 1 liter of water so I am happy to now know how many plastic bottles I'm able to save
