Cian's actions
Water
Learn About Water Justice
Access to clean water is a basic right, yet not everyone has it. I will spend 60 minutes learning about water justice issues and who is affected.
Waste
Choose Two-Sided Printing
I will save up to 0.21 lbs (0.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.
Food
Enjoy a Meatless Meal
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 0 vegan meals each day.
Energy
Switch To Cold Water for Laundry
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

Cian Dimmick 5/03/2026 3:35 PMToday I spent about an hour watching a PBS documentary called Upstream, Downriver: Uniting for Water Justice (2025) . I would recommend it! I think it gives a really good overview of the state of water justice in the country right now. It talks about the issues at hand, and it also talks about policy interventions, public action, and technological innovations surrounding water quality.-

Cian Dimmick 4/24/2026 3:24 PMI really want to push myself to be more vegetarian. I don't know if I could eventually give up meat completely, but I have already stopped eating beef, and at this point the only meat that I eat somewhat regularly is chicken. I'm going to push myself to make more meals without any meat though, and find ways to replace the protein like with beans and chickpea/lentil pasta. I also want to try cooking with tofu more. I need to get better at it!-

I strongly recommend this soup with a few alterations: Less chili flake, and it does not need to be salt and peppered four separate times -_-* It can be made vegetarian with a vegetable broth or a mock chicken broth (which is what I use.) -
Colin Russell 4/25/2026 11:55 AMGood challenge. Even if you're still eating meat sometimes, you're still reducing the amount you eat, and that is going to create a significant impact, regardless. Just by the fact that you are not eating it as frequently. Btw Quinoa is amazing too and also versatile!

Cian Dimmick 4/19/2026 3:20 PMHonestly I hadn't thought about how much more energy it takes to wash your clothes with warm water instead of just cold water. It makes no difference to me so I'm happy that I can go forward washing with cold water now!-

Cian Dimmick 4/10/2026 2:08 PMI chose to commit to only printing double sided from now on. As a student, I have to print a lot of papers and projects, so acknowledging this commitment feels good, no matter how small the impact may be!-

Sam Dare 4/12/2026 10:40 PMNice one! I can relate. Being a student has demanded quite a share of printed papers. I love the double sided printing commitment. The little things add up! -
Colin Russell 4/11/2026 11:46 PMI like this commitment. I wish I could use this for printing colored images for architecture school, I use so much paper for that major.
