Throughout April the Ecological Landscape Alliance is hosting weekly webinar on these topics. I will view these webinar to increase my knowlege

I will be building raised beds and grow my own food. Growing only that which I can use or share with friends and family. This will be done sustainably and organically much of the wood used for this project will be repurposed wood.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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.

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

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

I will volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community helping people who are most at need right now, including elderly and immunocompromised people, people without childcare, and people whose jobs have been affected by social distancing measures.

I will listen to various environmental related podcasts that teach me about topics I was not previously familiar or build on topics I am familiar with.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).
