If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 2 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

I'll wash and reuse my single use plastic bags and take them with me when I grocery shop so that I don't have to take more. I'll reduce at least 3 bags/week.

I will spend at least 30 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

Become a monthly donor to TreeSisters and contribute to the million tree goal we kicked off through our Music Festival.

Invite 5 of your friends or family members to join our Team Shift or create a separate team with them and compete with us!

Join Devaa Haley Mitchell in conversation with Clare DuBois, founder of Treesisters for a live Q&A called For The Love of Trees! During the dialogue, they’ll be discussing some of these themes: Why planting trees is so fundamental to healing our planet. What other practical actions can we each take to be the best possible stewards of our planet. How nature connectedness can transform your life and leadership. Why women are more disproportionately impacted by climate change than men. How the funds donated to TreeSisters are spent. Lastly, any answers to YOUR questions!

For individuals who would also like to calculate their carbon footprints. The creation of this particular Action was inspired by Kahea Pacheco, the Ceo of Women's Earth Alliance.
