Christopher Selin

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area while following CDC guidelines for social distancing.

I will plant 1 native tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

Bringing home unique souvenirs from trips you’ve enjoyed is meaningful, and giving people unique gifts from other places is fun. Seek souvenirs and gifts that support local communities and do not cause harm to the environment or wildlife.

I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

I will connect with at least 1 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.
