Angelica's actions

Personal

Enjoy Fruits and Veggies

Eating a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is a simple way to boost our personal health and support a more resilient food system. I will prepare and enjoy 2 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

COMPLETED 30
DAILY ACTIONS

Personal

Exercise Daily

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

COMPLETED 30
DAILY ACTIONS

Take the Pre-Survey

Take the Pre-Event Survey

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Personal

Reduce Refined Sugar

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.

COMPLETED 30
DAILY ACTIONS

Personal

Meditate

Meditation helps build resilience and clarity. I will spend 2 minutes each day to meditate or create a moment of silence each day to reflect on things important to me.

COMPLETED 30
DAILY ACTIONS

Water

Save Water When Washing Dishes

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.

COMPLETED 30
DAILY ACTIONS

Community

Host a Gathering

Bringing people together helps strengthen bonds. I will organize and host a gathering, such as a potluck, coffee meet up, or shared meal, for friends, family, colleagues, or neighbors to foster connection and community spirit.

    Can’t believe today is the last day of this challenge. Time went too fast and I definitely will continue these habits. I’ve gone a whole month without drinking soda!!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Personal
    How does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet? What fruits or vegetables did you try this week, and which was your favorite?

    Switching toward more fruits and vegetables helps my body stay healthier as it provides me with essential nutrients like vitamins, fiber and antioxidants. Reducing red and processed meat can lower my intake of unhealthy fats and cholesterol. As for others, it improves public health, lowering healthcare costs related to diet-related diseases. As for the planet, it helps prevent deforestation and habitat destruction. I hadn’t had papaya in a very long time because of the smell when it was cut but once I put tajin on it, it made it taste so much better. I love broccoli with carrots.
