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 4 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

Support Local Pollinators
SDG 15
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will plant pollinator-friendly plants in my area to support local pollinators.
Climate & Ecosystems
Plant a Tree
SDG 15
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.

Lynette Philips 4/11/2023 4:38 PMI made a salad . i used green onions and kept the ends of them and put them in water to re-root them . i will plant them in soil in a few days and grow more green onion from those roots.
I am going to try to re-root and regrow some more vegetables like romaine lettuce-
Jordan Grigg 4/12/2023 5:38 AMI'm trying this out too! I don't know if I have given them enough light to regrow. I'm also saving veggie scraps (onion skins, carrot peels) in my freezer to make broth once I have collected enough.
