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 visit Rocky Reach Dam and learn about salmon migration.

I will search the webpage of The Nature Conservancy for 10 species they help protect, 10 natural preserves in Washington they steward and consider one way I could participate in their work in the Moses Coulee Preserves. (Hunter Steward Program, pigmy rabbit habitat repair, trail maintenance, fence repair)

I will research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will shop used first when purchasing clothing or supplies.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

Visit a Picture of Health in NCW website to see what people do to enhance the health of the environment and add yours by emailing it, with a caption, to irisncw@gmail.com.

I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will only use muscle-powered transportation.
