Mary Lou Nicholson

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will spend 30 minutes researching businesses owned by women, immigrants, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color that I can support when shopping.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about green gentrification and how it relates to city planning for climate action.

I will source 75 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.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

I will contact 3 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and the enforcement of existing anti-logging laws, as well as the rights of local people to protect and restore the land in their communities.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

I will volunteer 12 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.

I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out if anyone is working on perennial biomass projects in my region and how I can get involved.
