"Our world is in peril. Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, can no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our planet. She gives five magic rings to five special young people. From Africa, Kwame with the power of earth. From the North America, Wheeler with the power of fire. From the Soviet Union, Linka with the power of wind. From Asia, Gi with the power of water and from South America, Ma-Ti with the power of heart. With the five powers combined they summon earth's greatest champion - CAPTAIN PLANET!"
I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.
Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 45 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
I will commute by bike 4 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 2.48 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
I will spend at least 20 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.
I will spend at least 20 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
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?
