Christel McArthur

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on issues affecting women, girls, and/or trans and nonbinary people in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will spend 15 minutes researching businesses owned by women, immigrants, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color that I can support when shopping.

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during Earth Month Ecochallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

I will spend 15 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.
