Christie Thorp

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

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will have a conversation with one or more nonprofit organizations I want to be involved with.

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

I will volunteer 5 hours in my community.

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

Through my Earth Month Ecochallenge feed, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

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

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

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.

I spend 15 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.
