H9CE-Ig-h-14 ------------ - *Identify ways to prevent environmental health issues;* - *Share insights on ways in protecting the environment;* - *Define what community health action project implementation is;* - *Understand the importance of project assessment; and* - *Apply community development and program planning skills to create effective and culturally relevant communication strategies and interventions to promote* What I Know =========== What's In ========= What's New =============================== What is It ========== 1. Replace disposable items with reusable ----------------------------------------- - Carry your own reusable cup or water bottle - Use airtight, reusable food containers instead of sandwich bags and plastic wrap - Pack a waste-free lunch: carry your utensils, cloth napkin, and containers in an reusable lunch bag - Bring your own bags to the grocery store - Consider buying bulk containers of your preferred beverages and refilling a reusable bottle, instead of buying individually-packaged drinks  Use rechargeable batteries 2. Pass on paper ---------------- - Join a library instead of buying books or buy a Kindle app - Print as little as possible; and if you must, print on both sides - Wrap gifts in fabric and tie with ribbon; both are reusable and prettier than paper and sticky-tape - Stop using paper towels and incorporate washable cloths - Look at labels to make sure you only use [FSC-certified wood](https://us.fsc.org/en-us/certification) and paper products - Cut out products made by [palm oil companies](https://inhabitat.com/tag/palm-oil/) that contribute to deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia 3. Conserve water & electricity ------------------------------- - Turn the sink water off when brushing your teeth - Water the lawn in the morning or evening; cooler air causes less evaporation - Switch off anything that uses electricity when not in use (lights, televisions, computers, printers, etc.) - Unplug devices when possible; even when an appliance is turned off, it may still use power - Remove chemicals inside of the house; research companies that use plantderived ingredients for their household cleaning products - Remove chemicals outside of the house; use eco-friendly pesticides and herbicides that won't contaminate groundwater - Consider signing up for a renewable energy producer that uses 100% renewable energy to power homes - Reduces plastic and paper waste - Boosts cost efficiency - Enables bulk purchasing - Helps support your neighbors - Retains farmland within the community - Builds up the local economy - Uses fewer chemicals for both growing and transporting 5. Recycle (& then recycle properly) ------------------------------------ - Confirm you are using the proper separation containers for your household per the local recycling services - Remember to make sure your trash bags are recycled or biodegradable, and always cut up the plastic rings from packs of beer or soda to prevent wildlife from getting caught - Educate yourself about what can and cannot be recycled, as not all plastic and cardboard is acceptable (like pizza boxes for example, due to the grease)  Learn how to identify and dispose of hazardous waste properly - Add these simple lists to your digital checklist and pick one at a time to tackle. After a week or so, check it off the list and move on to the next. Remember to pat yourself on the back! You just created a change in your lifestyle! - Find a comfortable compromise for your life. Purchase a pack of affordable, reusable rags and give them a specific purpose. For example, perhaps you always clean your counter tops with paper towels; try wiping them down with cloth towels instead. - Remember to highlight your successes and share with others! - Calculate your environmental footprint to see how much impact just one person has on the world's resources and adjust accordingly. What's More ================================ - Lends credibility to your organization. An action plan shows members of the community (including grant makers) that your organization is well ordered and dedicated to getting things done. - Prevents the possibility of overlooking details. - Helps understand what is and isn't possible for your organization to do. - Helps your community be more efficient by saving time, energy, and resources. - Increase the chances that people will do what needs to be done by making them more accountable. - ***Title or the Problem*** - ***Goals*** - ***Action Steps*** PLANNING STEPS -------------- - Review and analyze results of community assessment. - Choose a group of people to work together on developing the Community - Identify outcomes that would address the issues. - Identify challenges, obstacles, or potential barriers to successfully implementing interventions. - Identify necessary resources and where you will obtain them. - Choose individuals and community partners who will support, identify with, and implement goals and objectives. - Consider a timeline for conducting activities. - Include monitoring and evaluation activities. - Review the completed action plan. Carefully check it. **SAMPLE FRAMEWORKS TO CONSIDER IN ACTION PLANNING** What I Have Learned =================== What I Can Do ============= Assessment ========== Additional Activities ===================== My Action Plan -------------- **Title/Problem** **Goals** **Action Steps** **Benefits** **Evaluation** ---------------------------------- ----------- --------------------- --------------------------------------- ---------------- What is the title of your study?
