Pam's actions
Fresh Water
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
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.
Climate
Choose LED Bulbs
I will replace 12 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
Climate
Plant a garden
our family will plant and tend to a vegetable and herb garden this year, thereby reducing our need for grocery runs. We'll also eat healthier!

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?
Pam Meek 4/30/2020 11:20 AMso easy to have my re-usable water bottle while working virtually (at home). Will need to be just as diligent when traveling back to the office! -

REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate Choose LED BulbsChanging lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! In what other ways can you exercise your civic duty to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions?
Pam Meek 4/07/2020 8:04 AMwe replaced our old tube lights in our barn which were not energy efficient nor particularly safe to be hanging above our horses. LEDs are simple to install, and brighter too!
