Payton Tanner

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.

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

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.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 15 minutes and collect 5 items of litter.

I will volunteer 3 hours in my community.

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

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.).

I will watch 3 documentaries about climate change.

I will watch 3 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

I will watch 3 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

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

I will watch 3 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

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