Abby Lawler-Morycz

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.

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

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 60 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.

I will watch 1 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

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

Each day, I will engage in a sharing economy among my family, friends, and neighbors. A sharing economy is when goods and services are shared between individuals though peer and community networks.

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

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.).

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

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

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

I am organizing an Earth Day event for my community.
