Amy's actions
Health & Equity
Practice Mindfulness
SDG 3
I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.
Health & Equity
Spend Time Outside
SDG 3
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.
Health & Equity
Track My Purchases
SDG 10
Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.
Health & Equity
Donate Food
SDG 3, 10
I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.
Basic Needs & Security
Make Zero-Waste Meals
SDG 2
I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.
Basic Needs & Security
Reduce Animal Product Consumption
SDG 2
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.
Basic Needs & Security
Calculate Your Water Footprint
SDG 6
I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

REFLECTION QUESTIONBasic Needs & SecurityWhat was the tastiest meatless or vegan meal you ever had or had recently? Did you make it? Can you share a recipe?
Amy Philips 4/21/2023 11:24 AMI loved my friends vegan chocolate chip cookies. I do not have the recipe, but they were the best cookies I've ever had-
Susan Healey 4/24/2023 6:02 AMI bought vegetarian sausages by a company called Field Roast. Picked them up at Food Basics, $6.99 for 4, really delicious. Liked them so much I got another package :) They seem pricey but one or two sausages together with salad or veggies can make a full meal for one.

Jordan Grigg 4/24/2023 6:11 AMMe too! Prior to the pandemic, I only bought coffee if I had my reusable cup with me, but public health rules over the past few years changed that. Now that I can bring my reusable cup again, I need to start holding myself accountable! Great reminder!
