Chandana Kothuri

I will cook 2 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.

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 replace 5 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

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

I spend 14 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 watch 1 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.
