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 2 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 1 phone calls and/or send 2 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

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

I will contact my energy company to find out how to sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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 spend 15 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 2 people about what I learned.

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 spend 10 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 spend 15 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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