Michelle's Actions
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Smaller Portions
Reduced Food Waste
I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Reduce Animal Products
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
Industry
Practice the 5 R's
Recycling
I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
Electricity
Use fan rather than air conditioning
Switch to fan to replace air conditioning for at least 6 hours a day. It's super hot in Hong Kong and with everyone staying home most apartment units turn on their air conditioning.
Transportation
Stay home and not travel at all
We should stay home and keep social distance during COVID-19 times anyway. By committing to stay home I can eliminate not just reduce unnecessary travels.
Transportation
Use Muscle Power
Multiple Transportation Solutions
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

After reading this, I just unplugged my devices at home that are used only rarely!
