🌍 Honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day 🌿 Today, we recognize the incredible contributions of Indigenous communities—the original stewards of the Earth. For millennia, they have practiced sustainable living, protecting biodiversity and teaching us how to live in harmony with nature. At Earthwin, we are inspired by Indigenous Peoples’ wisdom and work alongside them in the Amazon to protect biodiversity. Their tireless efforts help safeguard wildlife, including the jaguar, by preserving natural habitats and maintaining healthy ecosystems. This Indigenous Peoples' Day, let’s stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and honor their leadership in protecting the planet. ✨ #IndigenousPeoplesDay #Sustainability #EarthStewards #HonoringIndigenousCommunities #BiodiversityProtection #EarthwinChallenge Photo by Camilo Arango M https://lnkd.in/eyZfpTMu on Unsplash https://lnkd.in/eaq7aWk3.

Hit play and let's take a look at this incredible experience 🚀 THE EARTHWIN CHALLENGE: THE CROOKED RIVER PROJECT Over 200 students, dozens of civic leaders and volunteers united to restore 26 acres of Riparian habitat. Youth have immense power to mobilize communities and drive meaningful change. It’s incredible to witness our community rally behind these young leaders applying STEM fundamentals in real-world scenarios. Looking ahead, we're excited to continue our journey to build a new community park with safe river access, fostering health, well-being, and stronger social bonds.

🌍 Turning Awareness into Action: Reduce Vehicle Idling for a Healthier Planet Small actions can lead to significant impacts. Reducing unnecessary vehicle idling is one such action that benefits both the environment and public health. 🚗 Did You Know? Idling emits harmful pollutants like carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, contributing to respiratory issues and climate change. Just 10 seconds of idling wastes more fuel than restarting your car! Reducing idling improves air quality and reduces engine wear. 🌱 Economic & Environmental Impact: Cutting down on idling saves money, conserves fuel, and helps fight climate change. 👫 Community Health: Transportation emissions account for 25-30% of city air pollution. Reducing idling can improve air quality and health in our communities. 💡 Take Action: Educate yourself and others about the impact of idling. Spread awareness and encourage responsible driving. Support local initiatives to reduce vehicle emissions. 📖 Read our full blog post to learn more about how you can make a difference! https://smpl.is/9cw9j Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future. 🌿💪 #Earthwin #Sustainability #CleanAir #ReduceIdling #EcoFriendly #EnvironmentalAwareness #HealthyPlanet

Great freedom comes with great responsibility. We have absolute power to choose how to act in any circumstance we find ourselves in. This places the entire responsibility of our existence squarely upon our own shoulders. Each of us has a choice, and every act that we choose is freely chosen. More important is the understanding that we can choose our own reality, both individually and collectively. What can you freely imagine? Do you have the courage to imagine a world that you (we) can get excited about? If we can imagine it we can create it.

Stewardship transcends the mere act of conservation; it embodies our duty to protect and nurture our planet. At Earthwin, we empower youth to become environmental stewards, fostering a sustainable future through proactive engagement and education. Stewardship is not just about preserving resources but also about inspiring future generations to continue this vital work. 🌍 ‘The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all, our most pleasing responsibility.’ – Wendell Berry #Stewardship #Sustainability #EarthwinChallenge

Youth Restore Crooked River Riparian Zone by Kate Koblegarde Take a look at our new blog post https://smpl.is/9ak7x It is inspiring to see the dedication and enthusiasm of Crook County High School students working to positively impact the world around them. Through their hard work and determination, they are helping to create a healthier and more vibrant ecosystem for generations to come. Their efforts not only benefit the environment but also provide valuable hands-on learning experiences. They are gaining valuable conservation, teamwork, and leadership skills that will serve them well in their future endeavors. Together we can make a difference and ensure a sustainable future for our planet.

We've made significant strides in Phase 1 of the Earthwin Challenge to build a new park in Prineville, Oregon. Our team reclaimed 26 acres along the Crooked River, initiated the park design vision, and began planning a long-term river trail. Huge thanks to Crook County High School students for their invaluable contributions to this project! This 26-acre site holds incredible potential to become a hub for community engagement and environmental stewardship. Now, we need your support to raise funds for Phase 2: planning the construction of a park with safe river access. This initiative aligns with the Crook County Unified Parks and Recreation System Plan 2021, the City Of Prineville's Transportation and Pathways Plan, and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's habitat restoration plans. We have necessary approvals and support from: Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC), Crook County Parks and Recreation District (CCPRD), City of Prineville, CROOKED RIVER WATERSHED COUNCIL, CROOKED RIVER WEED MANAGEMENT AREA, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon State University.
