If I use plastic, and that plastic goes into the ocean, the plastic is still going into everybody's ocean, and it's not just affecting me.

Brynn's actions
Action Track: Earth Day Together!
Earth Day Action: Share Eco Tips
Through social media or on the Earth Day Ecochallenge feed, I will share my favorite environmentally friendly habit with my friends, even if it’s not an Earth Day action.
Action Track: Building Resilience
Spend Time Outside
I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.
Wildlife
Seek Alternative Gifts and Souvenirs
Bringing home unique souvenirs from trips you’ve enjoyed is meaningful, and giving people unique gifts from other places is fun. Seek souvenirs and gifts that support local communities and do not cause harm to the environment or wildlife.

Earth Day Action: Write a Love Letter, Poem, or Song to Earth
I will express my love and gratitude for our Earth by writing a love letter, poem, or song to Earth.
Action Track: Building Resilience
Connect While Social Distancing
I will connect with at least 1 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.
Fresh Water

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Earth Day Together! Earth Day Action: Share Eco TipsWhat environmentally friendly habit have you most recently implemented? How do you ensure that you are successful in creating or changing a habit?
Brynn Litus 4/28/2020 12:56 PMAs of now, I keep my eye out for drippy sinks because we had one in our house, and I made it so that we could use the water, not waste it. I ensure I am successful by reminding myself of the habit I want to create and making sure I act accordingly. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Spend Time OutsideRachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Brynn Litus 4/28/2020 12:54 PMI think it does ring true. If you spend most of your time indoors, you don't feel as happy and you also don't get fresh air, which is good for you. -
