Cherry Vercher

Each day, I will spend 90 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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

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

I will spend 30 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 3 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.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

I will watch 3 documentaries about climate change.

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.

I will express my love and gratitude for our planet by writing a love letter, poem, song or taking a picture. I will share this in the Ecochallenge feed or on my social media.

I spend 90 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 have a conversation with one or more nonprofit organizations I want to be involved with.

I will watch 3 documentaries about education or work.

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

I will volunteer 3 hours in my community.

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