You'll be an Earth Month Ecochallenge 2025: Conservation expert in no time!
"Living life as sustainably as possible and helping to teach my children to cherish each precious resource, celebrate nature, be kind empathetic humans and help others whenever possible. I also love gardening and composting and am actively working towards getting more native and pollinator friendly plants in my garden. I love driving my electric car and think that everyone should go test drive one. My Leaf makes me oh so happy and love not having to buy gas. I try to make what I have last, repair what I can and buy second hand. If each of us does more to live sustainably then collectively our actions add up to some big change. Never let anyone tell you that one person can’t make a difference cause together anything is possible."
I will share my Ecochallenge story and why I'm taking action for the planet — and earn 15 points!
I will take a short survey about my experience to help the Ecochallenge team improve future events, earn a chance to win a prize, and earn 15 points!
Dishwashers can save water — if used wisely. I will only run the dishwasher when it’s full and skip the pre-rinse to reduce water and energy use. If I don't have a dishwasher, I will turn off the tap as often as possible while washing dishes.
Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 0 vegan meals each day.
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 15 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
Reducing energy use helps protect the air and climate. I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy and reduce pollution.
Swapping and sharing resources reduces waste and builds community bonds. I will participate in 1 swaps or sharing activities, like borrowing items, attending or hosting a swap meet, or giving away items I no longer need to support a sharing economy with friends, family, colleagues or neighbors.
Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.
