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

I will watch 2 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will replace 45 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 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).

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

I will volunteer 8 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.

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 1 meatless meals and/or 3 vegan meals each day this week.
