Michael Hamilton

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options in my state and/or community.

I will express my love and gratitude for our Earth by writing a love letter, poem, or song to Earth.

I will spend 20 minutes researching local organizations and businesses in my community, then support one of them by writing a testimonial or positive review, ordering curbside, making a donation to my favorite nonprofit, or supporting them in another way.

Through social media or on the Earth Day Ecochallenge feed, I will share my favorite environmentally friendly habit with my friends, even if it’s not an Earth Day action.

I will write 3 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly and/or environmentally just policies.

To reduce my consumption and waste and support my community, I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will connect with at least 2 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will volunteer 2 hour(s) in my community helping people who are most at need right now, including elderly and immunocompromised people, people without childcare, and people whose jobs have been affected by social distancing measures.
