Kirsten Parker

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will introduce myself to my Waste Management driver.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will set up a compost pile in my backyard where I can compost food scraps. I'll teach my family abou how to separate food scraps and place them in the compost pile.

I will limit my social media use to once per day.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will eat 1 meal(s) outside each day.

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 engage in nature-based activities with my kid(s) for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to watching the buds develop, to reading a book with nature themes.)

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

I will participate in "Bike to Work Day", "Ride of Silence" or another group bike event.

I will wash my car at the carwash or over my lawn (not in my driveway) to reduce soapy run-off.
