Emily Andrews

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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will spend at least 6 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.
