I will make 1 phone calls and/or send 1 emails to public officials to advocate for water habitat protection and clean up in my region.

I will cook 2 meals with zero waste each day.

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

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 14 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

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.

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

I will volunteer 12 hours in my community.

I will watch 12 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will watch 12 documentaries about climate change.

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

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

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.
