Register for UMN IonE Second Mondays Event on April 13! The topic will be "Clearing the Air: What the media gets right - and wrong - when covering environmental issues.

There are many ways we can help our community during this tough time. Just choose one! Create homemade masks to donate to healthcare or other essential workers. Donate to local food shelves. Donate to local foundations providing aid in your community.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.

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

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

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

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.

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.
