Jon's actions
Climate
Choose LED Bulbs
I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
Oceans
Advocate For More Packaging Options
Plastic packaging can clog our water ways and the stomachs of sea creatures. I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.
Oceans
Smart Seafood Choices
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Wildlife
Garbage Assessment
I will before Taking the garbage out, identify any plastic, paper or string type material that has loops in it for wildlife to get stuck in. This includes soda or sports drink "rings" that the bottles come in, paper or plastic bags from the grocery store or even box string and plastic wrapping. If so make sure that all the rings are cut so that there is no trapping hazard.
Wildlife
Support Pollinators
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
