Ann-Margret Crater

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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

I re-insulated my sunroom and living room ceilings. This saves energy in the winter and summer.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.
