Low Carbon Diet

Carbon is emitted into the atmosphere in a variety of ways, including through the foods we eat and food we waste. I will learn about low carbon foods and replace higher carbon foods with them in my diet.

Advocate for Forest Protection

Using my voice can help create a more sustainable and just world. I will contact 1 local, regional, or national decision makers to advocate for public policy that protects forests and improves their ability to sequester carbon and nourish biodiversity.

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
ONE-TIME ACTION

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?

    Had some chard that overwintered in my raised beds as part of my dinner last night! Yum! Will be adding some small chard leaves, overwintered parsley, and violas to my salad today…triple yum!

    Very excited to have re-connected with our local Interfaith Climate Group and I signed up to be a volunteer for our newly forming local Citizen Climate Lobby group.

    Taking time today to ‘be’ in my gardens, rather than ‘do.’ They are alive with bees, butterflies, birds, and rapidly growing plants!
