ANGELIQUE FAUCHER

I will make 10 phone calls and/or send 2 emails to public officials to advocate for water habitat protection and clean up in my region.

Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally). As an example, a plane from New York to Los Angeles (~2,450 miles) generates about 65 tons of carbon dioxide.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

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

I will contact my energy company to find out how to sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will watch 1 documentaries about education or work.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

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

I will replace 30 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.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

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

I will watch 1 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 30 minutes planning out a staycation in my region. For reference, one several hour flight releases the equivalent of nearly 14% of the annual emissions from a car.

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

I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

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 will make a few homemade cleaning products.
