Simplicity

Replace Screen Time with Other Activities

I will replace 60 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

COMPLETED 3
DAILY ACTIONS

Waste

Use a Reusable Water Bottle

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

COMPLETED 3
DAILY ACTIONS

Health

Engage in Joyful Movement

I will spend 15 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

COMPLETED 3
DAILY ACTIONS

Nature

Do a Nature Activity

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 20 minutes each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

COMPLETED 3
DAILY ACTIONS

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.

    This morning I walked campus for an hour instead of using my phone and it was very beneficial and helped me wake up a lot more

    I felt a lot better after this because of meat being so heavy on the body

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    What did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?

    I decided to read my book in the morning before class instead of picking up my phone. I also walked around campus before my class instead of staying in my dorm
