Nancy H.

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.

I will spend 25 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

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

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will replace 45 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 find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will watch 2 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

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

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.

I will replace 3 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

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

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for equitable food options at work, campus, or in the spaces I frequent by contacting community leaders and/or doing other advocacy actions.

I will watch 1 documentaries about education or work.
