Erin Burk

I will replace 15 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about water justice in my region.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

I will spend 60 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will watch 2 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will watch 2 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.
