Anita Wilkie

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

I will spend 10 minutes checking out all the energy-saving opportunities on Chelan PUD's web page, ConservationMakesCents.org.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will hike a local trail. (Consider joining one of Chelan Douglas Land Trust outings such as May 8 Sam Hill Walk for Families.)

I will establish an emergency kit and escape route in case of natural disaster like wild fire.

I will visit Rocky Reach Dam and learn about salmon migration.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will read about native bees and take an action to help them.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will donate unneeded clothing, books, and household items rather than throwing them away.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will wear clothes until they are dirty and only run the washing machine for full loads.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero waste each day.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
