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

I will contact 1 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests, improves their ability to sequester carbon, and supports biodiversity.

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about my food supply chains, and complete a food waste audit.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for equitable food options at work, campus, or in the spaces I frequent by contacting community leaders and/or doing other advocacy actions.

I will spend 60 learning about the past and present indigenous or first nation communities in my regions impacted by colonization, and what I can do to be supportive.

This action is to show commitment to water usage awareness. To identify areas one can improve on minimizing their water usage, set a goal to reduce it, and see the results. I used the https://www.watercalculator.org/ site listed under the "calculate my water footprint" one-time action on the previous ecochallenge. This ecochallenge I choose to select "already did this". Therefore a new action to build up the action was to do it again and compare with an older results.

I will spend 30 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

Each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

Each day when I don't need to travel by car, I will use muscle-powered transportation and other alternative forms (e.g., walking, biking, car share, public transit, etc.).

I will assess the vehicles used by my company, college, or city and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will spend 120 minutes finding out how to recycle in my region, where landfills and/or waste sites are situated in my region, and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for minute(s) and collect items of litter.

I will shop at a small business owned or staffed by underrepresented members of my community.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and other products known to contribute to deforestation, and replace or remove them.
