Shayne's actions
Climate + Air
Online Energy Audit
Energy use and waste is often invisible. I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
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.
Land + Forests
Compost Food Waste
Food in the landfill is one of the main sources of greenhouse gasses. I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.
Land + Forests
30 for 30 in Nature
Studies have shown that when we spend consistent time in nature, our health improves, our creativity increases, and our connection to the planet gets stronger. Each day of the Ecochallenge, I will spend 30 minutes outside (in a large or small patch of nature), then share my observations, reflections, and learnings on the feed.
Freshwater + Oceans
Cooking Oil Disposal
Pouring cooking oil down the drain can cause damage to waterways and ecosystems. I will learn how to properly dispose of cooking oil to help support healthy ecosystems.
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.
Action Track: Community
Volunteer in my Community
I will volunteer 60 hours in my community.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Shayne Magdoff 3/24/2024 4:12 PMWhile I have participated in Eco-Challenges many times, and debate as to whether there are still things I can do, I always come back to an answer of yes. Many of the actions listed are routine for me and have been for a long time. BUT there are many things I don't know a lot about and have the action in front of me prompts me to delve further.
And since I am a connector and a communicator I always share my knowledge, sometimes which has to be given gently. -
Shayne Magdoff 3/24/2024 9:27 AMOne of my many skills is connectivity. So generally, while I don't go "gang busters" to oversee projects or ideas or actions that are good for my community, I always share - little by little to whomever I meet. Most times this spreads the word, leads to others' actions and moves the needle just a lit bit by many.-

Shayne Magdoff 3/17/2024 6:41 PMWhile I have done an Eco-challenge several times, and I do have to mark a lot of actions "I already do/did this", amazingly I seem to find new things to learn about and how far we seem to be moving forward to help our world continue.-
