Kara Mencel

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.

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

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

I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
