Christina Scheuer

I will donate to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.

I will contact 6 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and the enforcement of existing anti-logging laws.

I will source 1 meal(s) from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will replace or remove products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will give 1 microloan(s) to women who need help starting a business.

I will support women-owned businesses when I shop this month.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on womens' or girls' issues in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

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