You'll be an Campus Ecochallenge 2021 expert in no time!
"As an Environmental Horticulture major, I would like to "practice what I preach" while spreading eco-consciousness during the challenge :)"
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 20 minute(s) 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.)
I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.
I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.
I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.
I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.
I will spend 30 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.
