NIOUSHA DOROUDIAN

I will spend 30 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will spend 60 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will replace 2 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 1 people about what I learned.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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 spend 30 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 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 or on my social media.

On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 2 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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.
