I will enjoy 2 meatless meals and/or 2 vegan meals each day this week.

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

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

I will spend 5 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution.

I will volunteer 15 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will spend 5 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about constructive communication.

I will spend 5 minutes learning how conflict between people impacts people + planet.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will spend 1 minutes reading the Ecochallenge feed each day and giving high fives or commenting on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.
