Dorothy's actions
Soil and Food
Grow Something to Eat
Growing food builds resilience by connecting us to the soil and reducing reliance on long supply chains. I will grow edible plants—such as herbs, vegetables, or grains—in my home, balcony, or community space, strengthening both my food security and local biodiversity.
Soil and Food
Share or Donate Surplus Food
Sharing surplus food not only prevents waste but also strengthens social safety nets. I will donate or share 30 meals or food items through a food bank, community fridge, or with neighbors to support food security and resilience.
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 3 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
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.
Biodiversity and Wildlife
Donate to Support Wildlife
There are many amazing projects supporting wildlife and their habitats. I will choose a project or organization to support that helps species and habitats I care about and make a donation.
Share My Why
Take the Earth Month Ecochallenge Feedback Survey
I will take a short survey about my experience to help the Ecochallenge team improve future events, earn a chance to win a prize, and earn 15 points!

Dorothy Tait 4/23/2026 1:29 PMSomeone shared an App, TooGoodToGo. This app has bakeries and restaurants that sell off leftover food at the end of the day rather than throw it out. They are "mystery bags" and may contain items such as loaves of bread, cakes from the bakeries and food from the restaurants. The prices are about $5-10. There are not a lot of places on the app yet, but it's fun to see what you get and it also keeps food out of the garbage. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONSoil and FoodWhere did your surplus food go, and who did it benefit? How does sharing food strengthen resilience in your community?
Dorothy Tait 4/23/2026 1:15 PMMost of my food donations go to C.A.R.E.S in Farmington Hills, MI. They are a food bank and also provide services other than help to homeless or people who need assistance. I am also putting together care bags to give to people on the side of the road who need help. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonalHow 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?
Dorothy Tait 4/23/2026 1:11 PMI have been trying to add fruits and/or veggies to each meal as well as snacks. The berries have been very good as well as the avocados. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSoil and FoodWhat did you decide to grow, and how did it feel to start (or care for) your plants? What connections did it give you to soil or food resilience?
Dorothy Tait 4/23/2026 1:09 PMI am growing strawberries from seeds. I have been thinking about doing this for a few years and saw a kit in the store. The seeds are tiny sprouts right now, so I hope they grow to fruition.-
