CHARLOTTE GAYNER 6/02/2025 9:52 AMHi Gianna! I am also starting an herb garden soon! My apartment's patio would be the perfect spot to start one. I have not tried making my own tea but you have inspired me to look into it!

Recycling; Recycled Metals; Recycled Plastics
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.
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.
Industry
Using Drawdown's Job Function Action Guide, I will learn about climate actions I can take at work.
Multiple Industry Solutions
I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin practicing it in my own life.
Seaweed Farming
I will use seaweed in a new recipe.
Sustainable Intensification for Smallholders
I will spend 60 minutes researching and shopping from 5 businesses owned by women, people of color, or immigrants.
Walkable Cities
I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
Bamboo Production
When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.
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.
Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 120 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.
Conservation Agriculture
I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
