Carla Kristoff

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area while following CDC guidelines for social distancing.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will connect with at least 2 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

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 scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

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.
