COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

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 1 vegan meals each day.

Brian Lin 4/06/2026 4:06 PM

I feel a lot more focused on showering rather than wandering I feel. It was a nice feeling to get in and get out though.

Brian Lin 4/06/2026 4:05 PM

Not so sure where my campus gets its water. I’m sure that’s public information somewhere if I search through the university’s websites.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation

Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Does this statistic describe your own transportation habits? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?
Brian Lin 4/01/2026 9:44 AM

This statistic describes my transportation habits when I'm not at school since there are not a lot of sidewalks in my hometown. I think owning a bike would probably encourage me to avoid driving in my daily life for short distances.
