We encourage teammates to connect to other local green organizations (including each other) and practice supporting local businesses at least once a week. Re-share a post, order curbside, make a donation to your favorite non-profit, or find a local business to make a purchase from! Let’s keep making St. Louis a greener, healthier, and more sustainable place to live, work, and learn! Have other or more specific actions to add to the Connect Local, Support Local Building Resilience Challenge please email [email protected].

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
