Advocate for Forest Protection
Forest Protection
I will contact 2 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.

Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates
Reduced Food Waste
I will spend at least 7 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

David Lisle 2/05/2024 11:24 AMLand Sinks are super important for the future in dealing with climate change. They will sequester a lot of carbon, and help prevent global warming. Land sinks should be used in association with farming and agriculture.
