Carolyn Ramseur

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.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will source 50 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

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

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Insects are a low impact alternative to mammals and fish for protein.
