As summer begins, UU Conscious Consumers challenges you to bring mindfulness outdoors. Consider reducing (or eliminating) single- use plastics during beach and park trips by bringing reusable water bottles, containers, bags and tableware. Then take a hike! Spend time in nature, and reconnect with the world we are trying to protect. Looking for inspiration this summer?

Consider reading (or rereading) Braiding Sweetgrass, a beloved reflection on nature, gratitude, and our relationship with the Earth. Small habits, practiced together, can grow into meaningful change.
