Seth's actions
Forests
Explore My Area
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area while following CDC guidelines for social distancing.

Learn the Basics
I will learn the fundamentals of climate change and what I can do to help.

Educate Yourself
I will read Santa Barbara’s recycling guidelines.

I will connect with at least 1 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
