Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

I will spend 30 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 10 minutes and collect 10 items of litter.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 2 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will spend 60 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will spend 10 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

I will spend 10 about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

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.

I will watch 3 documentaries 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 source 1 meals each day from local producers.

Wars and conflicts have devastating consequences—not only for people and communities, but also for ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate. I will spend 10 minutes learning about how war and conflict impact human rights, displacement, and environmental degradation. I’ll explore how peace, justice, and strong institutions are linked to sustainability and resilience.

Knowing our carbon footprint is the first step to reducing it. I will calculate my carbon impact and identify lifestyle changes that could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment. I will share my commitments to lowering my impact on the feed.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.
