earth day (or weekend) actions + such

​Bees ::

• ​Tell the EPA to stop the use of bee killing pesticides.            
• Plant something for the bees...and butterflies...and hummingbirds.

Trees::

• Encourage your city to become a Tree City USA. Ours is one and plans to plant nearly 1000 trees this year in our city!              
• Take a stroll in the woods or under the trees in your own neighborhood.

Meat ::

• No meat today. Visit the farmer's market + eat your fill of local fruits and vegetables.
• Consider making this a once or twice per week choice...and find grass-fed options for the rest of the week. Or save meat for special occasions only.

Heat ::

• We can add an extra sweater and socks...or turn on a fan...today in order to let heat and air-conditioning remain off today. You too?

Zero-waste ::

• Buy nothing with packaging today. Take reusable cup to the coffee shop. Take a reusable dish along for take-out. Take a reusable plate + fork to the BBQ. Do without a straw.
• Take an extra bag along on that walk and pick up any trash. The rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, possums, and foxes in our neighborhood don't need to ingest it.

Less haste ::

• Take public transportation, walk, or take a bike today. Leave the car at home.
• Consider leaving the car parked at least one whole day per week.

March ::

• Today for Science.
• Next weekend for the climate.

Above all, enjoy this amazing home of ours!! Have an incredible weekend, friends! 

Love, 
Jane
