Reduce Animal Product Consumption

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 2 meatless meals and/or 0 vegan meals each day this week.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Economy & Communities

What was the most interesting thing you learned from analyzing your utility bill? What are some ways you can save energy and water?

About 18 months ago, our household enrolled in our electric company's "peak pricing" program where you pay less for electricity during off-peak times but higher during peak times. We now run our dishwasher and clothes washing machines late at night or early morning. Although we save only a handful of dollars per month with this pricing model, I believe just the awareness of when we use electricity has led to an overall reduction of power usage since the time we enrolled. By analyzing our electricity bill over the past 4 years, there is a downward trend both in terms of kWh and $.

Helped to co-host an Earth Day event in the city in which I live. We had about 70 people, and removed 3 dumpsters of invasive plants (blackberries, holly, ivy, etc.). And, also planted about 170 Oregon Grape plants.

What was the tastiest meatless or vegan meal you ever had or had recently? Did you make it? Can you share a recipe?

It's not fancy, but stir fried vegetables (cooked in oil + teriyaki sauce) over brown rice topped with sweet chili sauce. And naan bread on the side.

What was your experience like plogging, or engaging in another way to collect litter while being outside? Was there any item you collected that was unusual that you found?

It is gratifying to see the steady reduction of litter in the park where I pickup. Each time I go there, I find fewer and fewer items of litter. I also get a frequent "kudos" from others who walk the park.

  I can confirm that. The cleaner the environment is and the less rubbish is lying around, the better other people take care not to leave anything lying around.
