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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

Take a walk for 20 minutes. Relax, take note of the beautiful plants and flowers that are emerging. Let it inspire you ...

I will donate to Native American Rights Fund, which protects tribal natural resources and environmental rights and promotes Native American Human Rights.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

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 research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.
