I will spend 1 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local or organic food options at work, on campus, or in the spaces I frequent.

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 3 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

If allowed, I will install a low-flow showerhead in my dorm or apartment to save water. If not, I’ll advocate for them or look for other water-saving habits.

I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need each day.

Recycling rules vary by location. I’ll spend 10 minutes learning which plastics my local or campus recycling program accepts. This helps me avoid “wishcycling” — tossing items in the bin and hoping they’ll be recycled, even if they aren’t.

I will use public transit 12 miles each day and avoid sending CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

The Johnson Creek Watershed is in my backyard. I have received a lot of communication that the project is happening, but not what the actual purpose is. This week I researched the goals of the project.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.
