Alicia Allen

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin practicing it in my own life.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 120 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will complete a plastics audit to see where plastics show up in my life and determine how I can reduce the use of single-use plastics.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will take time to learn more about United Way and other nonprofit organizations active in my community and pledge a financial donation through BEA’s United Way campaign.
