You'll be an Earth Month Ecochallenge: Drawdown expert in no time!
"Astronauts have pointed out the very thin blue line of atmosphere surrounding Earth - the only thing that protects us from the vast vacuum of space. There is no Planet B. I will reduce my carbon footprint and support others in doing the same."
I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.
Walkable Cities
I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
I will attend a political breakfast meeting 9a-10a followed by group participation in a Shoreline Clean-Up at White Rock Lake in Dallas, 10a-12p, Sat, Apr 10.
Ocean Farming
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
Telepresence
I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
All Electricity Solutions
I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Solutions.
Onshore Wind Turbines, Offshore Wind Turbines
I will write or call 2 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.
All Drawdown Solutions
I will calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce my negative impact on the environment.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
