I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.

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 watch 2 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 spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will watch 2 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will have a conversation with one or more nonprofit organizations I want to be involved with.

ride my bike every day during April to help get my body and mind ready to ride all spring and summer and beyond, and to run errands instead of using a car.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will plant pollinator-friendly plants in my area to support local pollinators.

I will replace 30 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.
