DAILY ACTIONS

Food

Enjoy a Meatless Meal

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.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy

What did you learn about your digital habits that surprised you the most?
Sydni K Hathaway 10/09/2025 7:15 PM
This test was fun and sad to do, I thought I was going about being resourceful, but I still had a pretty big carbon footprint. I'm glad I did it though because overall I have been paying more attention about what I'm using and just my everyday habits and I've been making small improvements to get better about my long-term footprint.

How did exercising each day impact your physical or mental well-being? What activity did you enjoy most, and why?
Sydni K Hathaway 10/09/2025 7:07 PM
I needed to start exercising more and this goal definitely helped me with that! I sit down a lot during my week with school and work so having this goal forces me to move during my free time and it makes me feel better afterwards!

How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Sydni K Hathaway 10/09/2025 7:03 PM
I love showing my gratitude towards people but when I get caught up in school or work and feel I'm speeding through my day, I never get to do it as much as I would like simply because I forget to. This goal made me be more aware of people's actions towards me on busy days and makes me remember to show my appreciation for them! it was a great goal to start with, and I will continue to do it.

How was your experience intentionally trying to eat less meat?
Sydni K Hathaway 10/09/2025 7:00 PM
I normally don't eat meat that often, so this challenge was pretty easy for me! I loved getting to try new vegetarian recipes though I would have never done that without this goal!

Energy

Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?
Sydni K Hathaway 10/09/2025 6:59 PM
I'm always a pretty hot temperature person but this goal has really helped me use less energy and use more blankets, sweaters, or opening up a window. It will help cut down my carbon footprint and my energy bill!
