Caroline Auld

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I spend 10 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

I attended the green teams clothing swap! We all brought in pieces of clothes and swapped with others. All other clothes that were not chosen were donated to the Salvation Army or the LatinaX community that collects clothes for women who need professional clothes for interviews.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me each day to raise my awareness of how much waste I produce.

I will replace 4 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Each day, I will spend 60 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.
