Be the Change Campaign2022-04-08T10:11:56-07:00

Are you ready to be your own hero in the story of your life?

At Daily Acts we’re firm believers that transformative change begins with the personal. By taking the reins on our daily actions we can harness that magic caterpillar-into-butterfly energy and sweep the world off its feet into metamorphosis. That’s why we loved sharing our Be the Change Campaign with you in 2020!

Our goal was to empower you to transform your life into the vision of the world you hold in your heart. Below, you’ll find the four different ways we offered to support you to take action: Growing a Garden, Building Civic Engagement, Saving Resources, and Practicing Self Care. Within each of these categories are specific actions you can pledge to Be the Change.

While this is now a historic resource, all of the forms below are still live! If you’d like to take the pledge, we’ll provide you with the videos and written resources from when our campaign was live to help you complete these actions. 

Grow a Garden

Welcome abundance into your landscape by starting or expanding your garden with edible, herbal and/or habitat plants. Starting a garden is more than just growing plants – it’s a pathway to a richer, more connected life colored by nutritious food, useful products and a homegrown ecosystem powered by the sun.

To help you and your garden thrive, we’ve created video how-to guides and written resources on preparing your site, starting seeds, transplanting, harvesting, and propagating! From planting a fruit tree or shrub to growing a row to share with others, there are 7 different actions you can pledge today to Grow a Garden.

Save Resources

By adopting clever but simple practices like harvesting the rain and committing to shop second-hand, we can support the health of our planet and ensure there’s enough resources for all. Enough is as good as a feast! That mindset translates to all aspects of our lives, and by conserving resources like electricity and minimizing waste we can help both local ecosystems and the planet to thrive.

Build Civic Engagement

Just as your daily actions are powerful, so is your voice! People power is beautifully boundless, so let’s reclaim it! By engaging with our community and participating in local democracy, we can build connectivity and steer the ship toward resilience, equity and justice. By lending your voice, you can help build a world that works for everyone. Check out these actions to start connecting with your neighbors and driving policy change on issues like climate change and environmental health.

Practice Self Care

Tend your inner garden! Who do you want to be in this difficult time? What contributions do you want to make? Are you taking care of yourself? Take time to center, ground, and re-align with your strengths and values. Up-level your personal habits and practices, from meditation and journaling to getting enough rest and eating well. We’ll be offering you some resources and practices for syncing up your personal compass and setting yourself up to thrive.

A Daily Acts Story: Sharing the Love with Garden Kit Distributions

As a part of our Be the Change Campaign to Grow a Garden, we are partnered with The Botanical Bus Bilingual Mobile Herb Clinic to assemble and distribute 1,000 garden starter kits to members of the Latinx community and other local families experiencing food insecurity. Kits include vegetable or medicinal plant starts, GeoPot fabric pots, soil, seeds, and bilingual resources – all donated from our community partners! Kits were distributed with Community Action Partnership, Graton Day Labor Center, and La Luz at their existing resource distribution sites. We are so grateful for our community partners who donated their time and materials to create these kits!
