One task a month

Melissa Jacobson-Velandia

  • The world

  • Parque nacional el Tayrona (Colombia - by the Caribbean sea)

  • Puppies, big fat tree trunks, horses

  • I’ve always felt at home and connected in nature. I believe we all have that connection, so committing to doing something good for the environment should be as natural as committing to doing something good for ourselves. This is a great way to do that!

December 2025

Task taken on:

Buying a second-hand gift for someone at Christmas instead of buying something new.

(This year, I managed to get my dad to buy a Christmas tree in a pot, the idea is to keep it all year outside and simply bring it in over Christmas 🎄 So hopefully it will have a much longer life than it would have otherwise!)

Go to a natural space (park, forest, river, lake etc.) at least 3 times per week.
