Luke's actions
Climate
Local knowledge
I will learn how Santa Barbara has been affected by climate change.
Forests
Explore Nature
I will take time out of my day to safely explore my surroundings while maintaining social distancing.
Fresh Water
Water-Friendly Beauty Products
Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.
Wildlife
Use Reusable Bags
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.
People
Zoomers to Boomers
Zoomers to Boomers is a group of young people looking to help our community by delivering groceries to the vulnerable. I will share this service with someone that could use their help and/or volunteer to deliver groceries.
People
Support a local business
I will either buy a gift card, write a review, order takeout/delivery, or ask how to help a local business.
Food
Support your local farmers
I will purchase food from my local farmers market at least twice in the month of April.
Food
Learn about CSA
I will become informed about our local CSA (community-supported agriculture) resources through reading the below article.
Wildlife
Live in harmony
I will learn how to live in harmony with a wild species in Santa Barbara County and beyond.
Wildlife
Care for Wildlife
I will learn what to do if I ever find a wild animal in need.
Wildlife
Learn about Native Plants
I will research native plants at least once per week.
Fresh Water
Clean Creeks
I will watch at least 5 Creeks Division PSA videos throughout the month of April.
Oceans
Say No to Plastic Straws
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Fresh Water
Conserve Toilet Water
I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
