Jacoby Norton

Don't take a shower today at all costs.

I will spend time talking to family and friends, and learning about the efforts they make to help reduce their carbon footprints. We will exchange ideas.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 6 minutes planning out a staycation in my region. For reference, one several hour flight releases the equivalent of nearly 14% of the annual emissions from a car.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally). As an example, a plane from New York to Los Angeles (~2,450 miles) generates about 65 tons of carbon dioxide.

I will organize a book club to read about climate change and sustainability.

I will watch 1 documentaries about education or work.

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

I will volunteer 1 hours in my community.

I will call my elected officials to ask about what they are doing regarding water issues in my region.

I will spend 1 minutes learning about water justice in my region.

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 watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

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 call my elected officials to ask what they are doing regarding equitable gender participation and representation in my region.

I will spend 22 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will replace 22 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 track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

I will spend 90 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

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.

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

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.
