Keep My Community Clean

At times it may not feel like it's up to us to keep our community clean and healthy, but we all have a role to play. Each day I am outside, I will pick up any litter I see.

DAILY ACTIONS

Biodiversity + Wildlife

USE SACOLAS REUTILIZÁVEIS

Os sacos plásticos podem ser confundidos com comida por muitos animais selvagens e podem acabar em habitats que prejudicam a vida selvagem. Não aceitarei sacolas descartáveis ​​na realização de compras ao menos 1 vez neste mês.

COMPARTILHE SEUS HÁBITOS SUSTENTÁVEIS

Através do meu feed Ecochallenge do Mês da Terra, compartilharei com outras pessoas um hábito ecologicamente correto que cultivei.

COMPLETED 26

NENHUM VEÍCULO POR 1 DIA

Ficarei 24 horas sem utilizar veículos à combustão e reduzirei a emissão de CO2

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Climate + Air

Calculate My Carbon Impact

Carbon emissions can show up in many surprising ways in our life. I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Land + Forests

DESPERDÍCIO ZERO

Farei pelo menos 1 refeição por dia sem desperdício.

COMPLETED 26
DAILY ACTIONS

Land + Forests

Borrow Before I Buy

Why buy something I will only use once or a few times if someone nearby has it for me to borrow, and why not share something I have that someone may only need a few times a year? To reduce my consumption and waste, I will create or support the sharing economy with friends, family, colleagues or neighbors.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Freshwater + Oceans

BANHOS DE 5 MINUTOS OU MENOS

Economizarei até 23 L de água por dia tomando banhos de 5 minutos. Dica: Use um cronômetro para praticar ou conte até 60 algumas vezes.

COMPLETED 26
DAILY ACTIONS

Freshwater + Oceans

Óleo no Esgoto NÃO!

Farei a coleta de no mínimo 500 ml de óleo de cozinha utilizado em minha casa, familiares e/ou amigos e trarei para Emerson para o descarte correto.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Freshwater + Oceans

Use a Reusable Water Bottle

Itr's estimated over a billion water bottles are thrown away each year. Even if they were recycled, that still uses energy and resources from the earth. I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

COMPLETED 26
DAILY ACTIONS

Freshwater + Oceans

Understand My Water Footprint

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

COMPLETED

    Install a low-flow showerhead.
    It may cost you some money up front, but your water conservation efforts will save you money down the road. Conventional showerheads flow at 5 gallons per minute or more, whereas low-flow showerheads typically flow at 2.5 gallons per minute (or less!).

    There are two main variations for each medium: sub-irrigation and top irrigation. For all techniques, most hydroponic reservoirs are now built of plastic, but other materials have been used, including concrete, glass, metal, vegetable solids, and wood. The containers should exclude light to prevent algae and fungal growth in the hydroponic medium.

    Think About Air Drying


    The clothes dryer is one of the largest energy users in the home, often consuming as much as a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and clothes washer combined. Old-school clotheslines and the sunkissed, breeze-dried clothes they deliver may not be an option for everyone, but there are some really nifty drying racks, including collapsible ones for small spaces, that are definitely worth taking a look at. (That said, if you can string up a clothesline, all the better!)

    Check for Leaky Faucets


    Do a quick survey of your faucets and make sure that none are leaking. A leaky faucet dripping at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year. Most leaks are often easy to repair, requiring just a few tools and some hardware. (Also, remember that a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water each day.)

    Resist Double-Spaces Between Sentences


    In the olden days of actual typewriters, people learned to use two spaces after a period, as a single space didn't make quite enough room. A lot of people still swear by double spaces, and it has been shown to make written passages easier to read. However, we crunched the numbers and found that the extra spaces, in a printed book, for example, really add up. Consider all of the books published in the U.S. for a year: With an average of 5,294 extra spaces per book, it results in over a quarter of a billion extra pages, 26,471 trees, and about 163 acres of forest, eaten up just for that extra space between each sentence.

    Want to try some new ways to green your life and the planet? The Earth Month Ecochallenge provides lots of ideas for environmental and social engagement for the entire month of April. Select actions that resonate with your values and commit to them for 30 days in order to foster and reinforce positive habits while generating real-world impact. Choose your actions from categories such as Fresh Water & Oceans, Land & Forests, Climate & Air, Wildlife & Biodiversity, and Community.

    “This year’s theme, Conserving Every Ecosystem, Caring for Every Creature, highlights the intersection of conservation and behavior change. By focusing on daily actions and continuous learning, we aim to create a sustainable and just world, not just for humans but for all species and ecosystems we rely on,” according to Ecochallenge.org. You can choose to sign up for the Ecochallenge, but we chosen not to promote that because there is currently not an opt out available to avoid cookies, tracking and advertising (they’ve told us it’s in the works).

    Skip Meat and Cheese for a Day


    OK, vegans get an easy day—for the rest of you, today you get to skip meat and cheese and opt for other proteins instead. We know you can do it! And why would you want to? If everyone in the United States skipped meat and cheese for one day a week, it would be like taking 7.6 million cars off the road—or not driving 91 billion miles.

    Today is a rainy day here. It is ecological to take care of the points of accumulation of water so as not to proliferate mosquitoes.
