We are getting together to plant our first food garden in the Boulder Campus. Bring your veggies, herbs, or flowers seedlings and come help build this garden with us. There were seeds left over from the Seed Swap Event, which will get planted too. We will have three big planters (10 x 3 x 1ft) filled with nice soil ready to be sowed. Wednesday, April 30th at 2 PM by the Bocci Court outside the West Wing Expansion Let's close the celebrations of Earth Month with golden keys, looking towards fruitful healthy harvests in the near future.

Help to clean up Winchester Circle, earn some extra steps for the Fitness Challenge and enjoy all the benefit of being outside in the beautiful Colorado weather.

Green spaces improve air quality, support wildlife, and enhance well-being. I will call or write 1 public officials per day to advocate for more green spaces around my town, particularly in neighborhoods that currently lack equitable access to green spaces such as parks and gardens.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 45 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

Repurpose your athletic sneakers by donating them at the MMI Cafeteria drop-off bin. The Boulder Green Team will carry your donation to One World Running, which is an all-volunteer non-profit that redistributes those shoes to developing countries. If you don't have shoes to donate, consider spreading the word around or making a cash donation to One World Running.

Studies have shown that when we spend consistent time in nature, our health improves, our creativity increases, and our connection to the planet gets stronger. Each day of the Ecochallenge, I will spend 30 minutes outside, then share my observations, reflections, and learnings on the feed.

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.

Pollinators need a little help from their friends like us! I will take 1 steps to protect pollinators, such as planting a pollinator-friendly plant, installing a pollinator hotel, or by leaving leaf litter for pollinators to call home.
