Erika's actions
Oceans
Support Organic Growing Methods
I will buy organic cotton and foods grown without the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.
Food
Watch a Documentary about Food Sovereignty
I will watch 1 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.
Food
Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
Wildlife
Research Benefits of Biodiversity
I will spend at least 10 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.
Wildlife
Support Pollinators
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
Oceans
Smart Seafood Choices
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
Wildlife
Research a Wild Animal
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).
People
Create Homemade Face Covering to Help Prevent the Spread of Coronavirus
The CDC now recommends wearing a cloth face covering (such as a homemade mask or scarf) when you’re in public places where it’s difficult to maintain social distancing. These are places where there are usually more people — for example, at pharmacies and grocery stores. Now's your time to get creative while also doing social good and supporting public health. Breathable fabric like cotton, silk, or linen is recommended. Repurpose an old T-shirt, bandana, pillowcase, handkerchief, or scarf. You can sew the fabric into a mask, tie it around your face, or fold it and use hair ties for ear loops. Share your final product on your favorite social channels to inspire friends and family to do the same.
Food
Pantry Scavenger Hunt
If necessity is the mother of invention, but you're at a loss for what to make for lunch or dinner, fall back on three core Intuit values: Be Bold, Be Passionate, and Deliver Awesome. Gather up ingredients you already have on hand, and get creative! If possible, try focusing on a dish composed of vegetable or grain-forward ingredients.
Climate
Choose Renewable Energy or Purchase Renewable Energy Credits
I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.
Food
Reduce Animal Products
I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
Climate
Calculate your savings
Calculate and compare your carbon footprint to similar households and create a personalized climate action plan.
Action Track: Building Resilience
Support you local Small Business
Continue to support your local small business during the month of April and share in the social feed of how you powered prosperity.
Forests
Explore My Area
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area while following CDC guidelines for social distancing.
Forests
Use a Reusable Mug
If possible, I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
Participant Feed
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?

Erika Johnson 4/28/2020 4:48 PMHome stretch of the challenge! And it's been a great reminder of what I can do to make an impact and even more, what I am already doing as part of my daily routine to help reduce waste and create a more sustainable world for myself and others.
