You'll be an 2018 People's Ecochallenge expert in no time!
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 enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 4 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.
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?
