judy's actions
Electricity
Calculate the carbon footprint of my household
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.
Electricity
Learn More about Wave and Tidal Energy
Ocean Power
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.
Action Track: Healing & Renewal
Eat Mindfully
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Reduce Animal Products
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
Electricity
Invite a friend to calculate the carbon footprint of their household
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.
Industry
Reduce Single-Use Disposables
Bioplastics
I will avoid buying and using 3 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
I will not eat red meat for any of my meals
Red meat, such as pork, beef, lamb, etc. require more resources to raise and also have a greater carbon footprint. Electing to not eat red meat reduces reliance on these meats and reduces your carbon footprint
Industry
Learn about the impact of old refrigerants
I will spend 10 minute(s) learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links provided
Industry
Practice the 5 R's
Recycling
I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
