Take Action with Your Neighbours (explore the new BC-based guide)
Do you want to make a difference, but don’t know where to start? OneEarth’s new Lighter Living Action Pack for Neighbourhoods in BC can help you take action for the wellbeing of the planet and your community. In the guide, you’ll find fun and inspiring actions you can take on your own, with a few others, or with your whole neighbourhood. Will you hold a neighbourhood-wide garage sale? Or make a plan to share tools (or toys!) on your block? Pick something and then bring your idea to life! Together, we can build connected and earth-friendly neighbourhoods and communities.
Each of the seven packages in the guide contains examples, suggestions, and inspiration from around the province: 1) Building on the Block Party; 2) Good Stuff (more sharing, less waste); 3) Big Wins (supporting long-term choices); 4) Next-Level Food (healthy eating practices; less wasted food); 5) Life Changes (moments of life transition leading to new habits and traditions); 6) Cultivating Connection (building a more inclusive community); 7) Lighter Living Super Challenge (a multi-year effort in your neighbourhood).
