Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will visit a coastal or ocean site to experience the ecosystem and look for the presence of macroalgae/seaweed.

As a team goal, we would like to encourage everyone to try at least one plant-based dinner a week.

As a team goal, we would like to challenge everyone to try a lower carbon footprint alternative way to commute to work at least once a week. Consider public transit, cycling or carpooling! Did you know? UBC carpool drivers can earn up to $2 per day on their UBCcard if they use the Liftango app and pick-up at least one person on their way to and from campus. Link below.

I will cook 3 meals with zero-waste each day.
