Julie's Actions
Education & Livelihood
Stay on the Ground
SDG 11
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.

Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 1 phone calls and/or send 1 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

SDG 10
I will spend 15 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

Climate & Ecosystems
CREATE & SHARE A LOVE LETTER, POEM, SONG OR PICTURE
I will express my love and gratitude for our planet by writing a love letter, poem, song or taking a picture. I will share this in the Ecochallenge feed!
Climate & Ecosystems
Calculate Your Carbon Impact
SDG 13
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.
Basic Needs & Security
Calculate Your Water Footprint
SDG 6
I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.
Economy & Communities
TRASH&PACKAGING AWARENESS
Check this action if each day you have saved all of the trash and recycling that your household produces. At the end of the month, examine the amount of trash/recycling accumulated and make a plan to reduce this amount going forward!
Economy & Communities
Buy Used (halt consumerism)
Check this action if you did NOT buy any new products that day. Commit to buying all products USED whenever possible! Other than food, medicine and some toiletries, you can get all other needed products used: electronics/cables, clothes/shoes, accessories, jewelry, luggage, tools, bikes etc. ............................................................... ***INFO*** Products have a HUGE negative impact on the environment. From the environment cleared to make way for planting/mining materials, to factories, to transportation of products around the world. Rampant consumerism has increased exponentially over the past decades. STOP your negative impact by reducing your purchases and buying anything that you absolutely need used!
Climate & Ecosystems
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION
Check action if 90% of your transportation usage each day is sustainable/low-emission. This includes: walking/running, biking/e-bikes/velomobiles, public transportation, electric/Hydrogen car, carpooling. As much as possible, don't fly or use gas cars. ............................................................... STATS: Road travel accounts for ~75% of transport emissions. Most of this comes from passenger vehicles – cars and buses – which contribute 45.1%. The other 29.4% comes from trucks carrying freight. Since the entire transport sector accounts for 21% of total emissions, and road transport accounts for three-quarters of transport emissions, road transport accounts for 15% of total global CO2 emissions.
Climate & Ecosystems
Watch a Documentary About Climate Change or Nature
SDG 13, 14, 15
I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.
Basic Needs & Security
Take 5-Minute Or Less Showers
SDG 6
I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.
Basic Needs & Security
Reduce Animal Product Consumption
SDG 2
One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 2 meatless meals and/or 0 vegan meals each day this week.
Basic Needs & Security
Try a New Vegan or Vegetarian Recipe
I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.
