Laila Orr

I will contact 3 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and improves their ability to sequester carbon and nourish biodiversity.

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will make 1 phone call(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly and/or environmentally just policies.

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly and/or environmentally just policies.

I will bring a bag wtih me to collect trash whenever I go on a hike or picnic with my family. I chose this because it is important not to trash the wild or leave trash for wild animals to mistaken for food or hurt themselves.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will cut down on using plastic, non-reausible, or wasteful containers. These containers go into landfills and do not decompose and then end up in oceans.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

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

I will host or participate in a trash pickup at a local river or beach that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will spend at least 15 minute(s) a day researching climate issues or climate solutions in my local area and share with others through my team feed, social media, or conversations with my peers.
