You'll be an 2018 People's Ecochallenge expert in no time!
"To model environmental stewardship through a focus on service to PEOPLE, valuing this PLANET, and believing in the POSSIBILITY that I can make a difference."
I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
In an effort to reduce waste, I will no longer use K-cups and I will use a stainless steel coffee cup when drinking my coffee. Although I plan not to purchase coffee without using my reusable cup, if I do purchase coffee I will not purchase it in a plastic cup or with a plastic lid.
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?
