Alexandra Byrum

I will buy local produce and meats when shopping for groceries.

I will participate in the composting program on campus or compost my food scraps at home.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will take 10 minutes to learn how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land.

I will spend 1 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will disconnect from my email when not at school or work.

I will keep lights, electronics and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will conserve water and energy by only doing full loads of laundry in cold water.

I will attend the Virtual Gallery Talk and Breakfast on "Fragile Interconnectedness: Greenland & the Amazon" and listen to photographers give insights into their work.

I will tell friends and/or colleagues about the Ecochallenge and share information about how to get involved.
