Sofia Amaris Olave

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will donate 10 Femme Kit(s) to help people who menstruate overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on issues affecting women, girls, and/or trans/nonbinary people in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
