Register for UMN IonE Second Mondays Event on April 13! The topic will be "Clearing the Air: What the media gets right - and wrong - when covering environmental issues.

There are many ways we can help our community during this tough time. Just choose one! Create homemade masks to donate to healthcare or other essential workers. Donate to local food shelves. Donate to local foundations providing aid in your community.

I will learn 1 new recipe using only local food.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will replace 15 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will connect with at least 2 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.
