Small Acts, Big Impact

As summer warms up, June is a perfect time to reflect on how everyday choices can help heal our planet. Whether you're looking for easy ways to begin or ready to take on more meaningful changes, these weekly eco-tips can guide your journey.

June 2 – Energy Use
Easy: Let your hair and clothes air-dry when possible.
Challenge: Cut back on using hair dryers and other optional appliances to save electricity and reduce your carbon footprint.

June 9 – Spirituality
Easy: Take a moment to read Psalm 104, a beautiful reminder of the Earth’s natural gifts—land, water, plants, and light.
Challenge: Seek out another spiritual or philosophical text that speaks to environmental care. There's wisdom across cultures encouraging us to honor and protect our planet.

June 16 – Transportation
Easy: Turn off your engine while waiting in the car. Idling wastes fuel and pollutes the air.
Challenge: Choose to walk, bike, or take public transit when you can—every mile counts toward cleaner air and a healthier world.

June 23 – Water
Easy: Enjoy shorter showers with warm, not hot, water.
Challenge: Reduce your overall hot water usage by 10–20%. Try cold washes for laundry and fix any leaky fixtures.

June 30 – Systemic Change
Easy: Reach out to a local or national leader and advocate for stronger environmental policies.
Challenge: Show up! Attend a local planning board meeting and speak up for environmentally responsible development.

Every action matters. By choosing even one small step each week, you’re becoming part of a larger movement toward sustainability.
