Emily Chavis

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 15 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day.

I will volunteer 4 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.
