Tatiana Vasarhelyi

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.

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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will volunteer 20 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will spend 30 about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

I will source 1 meals each day from local producers.

I will spend 15 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

I will meet 1 new neighbors each day.

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.

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

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will plant 5 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Food waste hurts our planet and our communities. I will cook 3 meals with zero waste each day.
