Lucinda Reid

I will refrain from buying anything throughout the month (other than what is needed for health and safety) and instead live with what I have or learn about Buy Nothing groups in my area.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will spend at least 120 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.

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

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.
