Rick Pannemann

I will spend 60 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily rest during work days to practice work-life balance.

I will replace 20 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

For an upcoming vacation, I will plan a staycation in my region.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

Through my social media channels, in person, or as an Earth Month Ecochallenge feed reflection, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.
