Ceara Jade Parks

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 120 minute(s) each day to connect with the shared ecosystem in which I live and rely on. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will make a piece of art that connects my life to the life of Orcas and Salmon, and share it on social media.

Spend 5 minutes educating my family/friends about Southern Resident Orca Whales and their endangered food supply.

I will pick up and properly dispose of litter on a daily walk through my neighborhood, since stormwater will otherwise carry it to the Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting orca and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate, so long term, it stays out of the Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to landfills by using a reusable mug.
