Brooklyn Holton

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will plant 2 native tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will enjoy 6 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 25 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals. If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

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.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
