Daisy Knobloch

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

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for equitable food options at work, campus, or in the spaces I frequent by contacting community leaders and/or doing other advocacy actions.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will spend 180 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will watch 3 documentaries about climate change.

Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will write to a school, community learning center, or education leader I admire to express my thanks for their sustainability work and find out how I can get involved.
