Identify, lead and host simple environmental education activities, that help the Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean, for 4 young people I know.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh Puget Sound food in my region.

Spend 30 minutes educating my family/friends about Southern Resident Orca Whales and their endangered food supply.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one to keep my food local, minimize my climate carbon footprint and therefore reduce my impact to the Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips thus avoid sending exhaust particles and tire pollution into stormwater that impacts Orca and salmon health.

Participate in one of three upcoming Cover Crop Planting Days Join World Relief at Paradise Parking Plots community garden to prepare their garden beds for winter! Even through a pandemic, the seasons continue to change and the soil still needs to be protected from winter rains. During this work party they will be tilling garden beds, amending with compost, and planting winter cover crop.
