Jordan Tatum

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

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.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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

I will spend 15 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.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching how biodiversity positively impacts our world and how the loss of biodiversity harms it.

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

Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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 enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
