You'll be an Campus Ecochallenge expert in no time!
I will save water in my dorm or shared living space by only flushing the toilet when necessary—potentially conserving up to 12 gallons (45 L) per day.
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.
I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 100 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
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 2 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day.
I will spend 15 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.
