I have been selling some items on a Mom's Facebook group ($ goes to the kid whose item is was); other items I have left out on the sidewalk with a "free" sign (kids mini trampoline, Xmas tree stand, Batcave toy, Ee-zz up frame) and these have all been taken - yay!

I will spend at least 120 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will respect and protect biotic communities by practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

Action Track: Building Resilience
Support Pollinators
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 120 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Support A Sharing EconomyWhat are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?
Claire Fowler 4/30/2020 5:33 PMHaving so much time in the house just now, I am looking around at all the stuff we have. Most of it we no longer need - clothes that are too small for the kids, toys they no longer play with etc. Hate the idea of them going into landfill, and a lot of donation places are currently closed.
