You'll be an Campus Ecochallenge 2021 expert in no time!
"To eat healthy and be active! "
I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 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 disconnect from my email when not at work or school, using my personal time for endeavors that help me live out my values.
I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.
I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.
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.
Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
