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

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.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

Each day, I will spend 45 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will watch 4 documentaries about education or work.

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.

Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy 2 sustainable seafood meals each day.

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.
