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

I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

I will watch 1 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will replace 3 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

Each day, I will spend 15 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.
