Jackie Batliner

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

Eat at least 2 Plant-Based meals each day.

I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

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

Through my Earth Month Ecochallenge feed, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

I will write to a school, community learning center, or education leader I admire to express my thanks for their sustainability work and find out how I can get involved.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally). As an example, a plane from New York to Los Angeles (~2,450 miles) generates about 65 tons of carbon dioxide.

I will watch 1 documentaries about education or work.

I will watch 1 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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 calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.
