 | Help Our Garden Grow!🌻
Ready to double your impact? All donations up to $2,500 will be matched by Recology through 5/4! |
| Hi there Daily Actor, We only have a few more days of our Spring Fundraiser! Our goal is to raise $7,500 to support programs that transform landscapes, conserve water, and combat climate change. Up until May 4th, all gifts will be doubled up to $2,500 by our generous partner, Recology! |
| |
|
| In each interaction with community members – from installing greywater reuse systems to converting under utilized lawns into community food forests – we empower people to take actions that conserve water, reduce stormwater pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create habitat; all while promoting personal and community climate actions that support healthy, joyful and sustainable living. |

|
| A monthly donation provides the security we can count on to continue to unleash the power of community and build local resilience through lawn replacements, greywater systems, rainwater harvesting, rain gardens, carbon sequestration and so much more! If a monthly donation is not possible at this time, consider these ways to give: Thank you for all you do,
Liz Platte-Bermeo

| P.S - we could really use some more helping hands at our upcoming community planting mobilizations at Miwok Park and Miwok Valley Charter School. Sign up and bring your friends/family for a fun day of planting & free burritos! |

| | | Daily Acts was a proud partner of the Carbon Sequestration through Compost Application County Project, where we educated 380 participants about composting and its benefits during seven events. We distributed 320 yards of compost to community farms and residents, helping to sequester an equivalent of 128 Mg CO2e (metric tons of carbon dioxide over one year). That’s equal to the amount of emissions from over 320,000 miles driven by a gas-powered vehicle! |
|
|
| Through this project, compost was also distributed to local agricultural sites through our local Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs). Learn more about these projects and review the five case studies here! |
