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.)

Food waste hurts our planet and our communities. I will cook 2 meals with zero waste each day.

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

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will source 3 meals each day from local producers.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

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 2 meatless meals and/or 2 vegan meals each day.

Organic farming practices are healthier and safer for our planet, animals, and people. I will enjoy 3 meals cooked with organic ingredients per day.
