Anjum Syed

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

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

I will organize one of Ecochallenge.org's discussion courses, such as 'Reconnecting with Earth', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 1 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will journal each day about my experiences in nature.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.
