Ryan Lee

I will watch 10 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

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

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.

On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 1 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will watch 5 documentaries about climate change.

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

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.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will watch 5 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

I will watch 5 documentaries about education or work.

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