Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Support Local Food Systems
Plant-Rich Diets
I will source 20 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.
Transportation
Use Muscle Power
Multiple Transportation Solutions
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
Coastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks
Beach cleaning event
Once a year I take my kids to beach cleaning events. I want to imprint in them the awareness that small actions can cause big impacts.

Valeria Giddings 4/27/2021 10:38 AMEvery now and then my kids ask me for a drive-thru treat... I know I'm not going to get the mother of the year award for feeding my kids fast food. I specifically ask for no condiments and plastic cutlery. Does teaching my young ones to avoid waste count as good mom points? Small changes, can make a big impact :) -
