Ray Cook

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

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will have a conversation with one or more nonprofit organizations I want to be involved with.

I will volunteer 5 hours in my community.

I will replace 20 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 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

Through my Earth Month Ecochallenge feed, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I spend 15 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

Post in the feed about your plans or an interesting event in your community.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.
