Brooklyn Holton

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

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.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 25 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will enjoy 6 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will plant 2 native tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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 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.
