Hello,
When The 90-Day Plan was put on hiatus, we received a lot of requests to bundle the plan once a week as opposed to sending daily updates. Please read on below for the updates.
We hope you're staying tuned to Dave Cornthwaite's journey down the Mississippi and we wish him and our good friend John Ruskey well as the hopefully finish their paddle in the Gulf later today!
Cheers,
Kristian

The 90 Day Plan: Day 78
DON'T FEED WILDLIFE—including waterfowl (ducks, geese, swans, etc). Feeding wildlife is highly discouraged. It causes animals to lose their fear of humans, makes them more aggressive and spreads diseases. Plus, human food can make them sick and we don't want that! If you want to help animals, the best thing you can do is advocate for native plants and open-lands to promote biodiversity. This will allow wildlife to the ability to feed themselves. For More Information:
www.belowthesurface.org | |  | - Challenge: What are three harmful impacts of feeding waterfowl? What diseases can large populations of waterfowl spread?
