You'll be an Earth Month Ecochallenge: Drawdown expert in no time!
Peatland Protection and Rewetting
I will spend 10 minutes researching the environmental benefits of peatlands and what is being done around the world to conserve and restore them.
Reduced Food Waste
I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
Reduced Food Waste
I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
Methane Digesters
I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).
Biochar Production
I will spend 5 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.
Refrigerant Management
I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.
Multiple Solutions
I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about green gentrification and how it relates to city planning for climate action.
Forest Protection
I will contact 5 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.
Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 120 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.
Reduced Food Waste
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.
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?
