Using the Seafood Watch guide, I will feature a sustainable seafood ingredient in a new recipe.

I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will avoid buying and using 3 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

I will practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

As a team goal, we would like to encourage everyone to try at least one plant-based dinner a week.

As a team goal, we would like to challenge everyone to try a lower carbon footprint alternative way to commute to work at least once a week. Consider public transit, cycling or carpooling! Did you know? UBC carpool drivers can earn up to $2 per day on their UBCcard if they use the Liftango app and pick-up at least one person on their way to and from campus. Link below.
