PAIGE KIRBY

I will spend 120 minutesIdentifying what sub-basin I live in and learning about my watershed's water quality, fish habitat problems, and options for volunteering.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 90 minutes learning how Washington’s Indigenous Communities are working to support Orca health, and what I can do to support them.

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

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 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 volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community to help watershed health that leads to the Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean.

I will spend 15 learning about how my government is supporting watershed and orca health and encourage them to do more.

Learn about orca research taking place in the Puget Sound in this workshop put on by Whidbey Island CD in partnership with Northwest Straits Foundation and County Marine Resource Committees. Wednesday, Oct. 14 5:30-7pm

I will spend 15 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh Puget Sound food in my region.

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 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.
