Caren Johnson

I will commute by carpool 5 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

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

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.

I will write to a school, community learning center, or education leader I admire to express my thanks for their sustainability work and find out how I can get involved.

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

Share your journey and one thing you learn during the Ecochallenge on any platform (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, KohlerNow) using hashtag #KohlerEcochallenge!
