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.

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will learn what to do if I ever find a wild animal in need.

I will either buy a gift card, write a review, order takeout/delivery, or ask how to help a local business.

I will watch at least 5 Creeks Division PSA videos throughout the month of April.

I will research native plants at least once per week.

Zoomers to Boomers is a group of young people looking to help our community by delivering groceries to the vulnerable. I will share this service with someone that could use their help and/or volunteer to deliver groceries.

I will become informed about our local CSA (community-supported agriculture) resources through reading the below article.

I will purchase food from my local farmers market at least twice in the month of April.

I will learn how to live in harmony with a wild species in Santa Barbara County and beyond.

I will learn how Santa Barbara has been affected by climate change.
