I think something I could do is let the world works the way it works. As in not messing with things in nature and just letting the world be the world.

Forests
Forest-Friendly Foods
I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.
Wildlife
Leave No Trace
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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Earth Day Together! Earth Day Action: Share Eco TipsWhat environmentally friendly habit have you most recently implemented? How do you ensure that you are successful in creating or changing a habit?
Tia Irby 4/22/2020 11:02 AMI have only been using reusable water bottles. I realized how much of an impact I have been making because just by reusing by hydro flask I can save 5 plastic bottles a day. I was successful by easing into it. And every time I went to use one-use plastic I would stop myself. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Connect While Social DistancingHow does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?
Tia Irby 4/02/2020 11:24 AMJust knowing I have a support system with people going through the same thing I am makes me feel stable. And it gives me peace of mind my friends and family are doing okay. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh Water Use a Reusable Water BottleUsing the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed - both humans and wildlife - by this bottling process?
Tia Irby 4/01/2020 11:04 AMWhat I do to advocate for them is not to use plastic water bottles. I try to do everything I can to avoid using one-use plastics.
