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

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

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

I will spend 60 minutes researching cattle feed and manure management, or visiting a dairy farm to learn about their farming practices.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will commute by bike 15 miles each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will support a community garden by volunteering, donating, or advocating for a new or existing one.

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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.
