"stop climate change "
Forest Protection
I will contact 3 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and the enforcement of existing anti-logging laws, as well as the rights of local people to protect and restore the land in their communities.
Improved Clean Cookstoves
I will donate to nonprofits that install clean cookstoves in low-income countries.
Public Transit
I will use public transit 1 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
Composting, Reduced Food Waste
I will start a compost bin where I live.
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
Ocean Farming
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
I will donate a certain amount of money to a tree-planting organization like Team Trees, which plants trees based on the amount of money you donate, so the trees can help better out environment
Temperate Forest Restoration
I will plant 100 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
Recycling
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.
Bioplastics
I will avoid buying and using 2 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
Public Transit
I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.
Farm Irrigation Efficiency
I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.
Health and Education
Through social media, I will raise awareness about gender inequity in education by sharing the information found in the links below.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
