Vinny Harris-Riviello

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will spend minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
