Mark's actions
Food
Start or Tend a Garden
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.
Food
Watch a Documentary about Food Sovereignty
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.
Community
Participate in a Cover Crop Planting at Hillside Gardens Parking Plots
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.
Community
Remove invasive weeds
Recruit 2+ friends/family/neighbors and together remove invasive vegetation from our home/apartment building/neighborhood that is in a watershed upstream of downstream salmon and orcas.
Nature
Organize a Trash Cleanup Event
I will organize a trash clean up effort with friends, family, and neighbors at my favorite local trail or salmon stream to keep trash from flowing downstream via storm drains to Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean.
