The challenge is back for 2022! Each weekday we will share a new action we can all take to improve the well-being of people and planet. Share your challenge responses on instagram, twitter or facebook with #ELDWChallenge.
Download the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch guide so you can see the impact your seafood choices have on the ocean! You can search different types of seafood and their rating (green = best choice, yellow = good alternative, red = avoid if possible). More info here.
Meal plans can help decrease last minute scrambling, organize your shopping and reduce waste. Challenge: Check out our premade meal plans or create your own. You can generate shopping lists with all the ingredients you’ll need to make the recipes. Share your meal plan with #ELDWchallenge!
Schedule a virtual walking meeting this week with a co-worker or friend. Or take one of your usual work calls while walking. When dressed for the weather, an outdoor walk can happen any time of year. Share a photo with #ELDWchallenge!
Challenge: Take a break from animal proteins for one day! Share your favorite plant-based meals with #ELDWchallenge! Looking for recipe inspiration? Check out our recipes page where you can filter by your preferences.
Challenge: Write down 3 things you want to accomplish this year. To set yourself up for success, choose goals with easily measured results. For example, a broad goal of “I want to eat better” is harder to measure than “I want to include a vegetable at every dinner.” Share your goals with #ELDWchallenge
Challenge: Create a delicious plant-forward meal. Try to avoid seeing “meat eater” and “vegetarian” as the only two options. Plant foods can and should be a big part of all of our meals, with or without meat. Plant forward eating celebrates this idea. Share your cravable dish or one from your favorite chef that inspires you with #ELDWchallenge!
Challenge: Visit this page for a set of mindful eating exercises to follow. After learning about these eating styles, put them into practice for your next meal. Share a photo of your distraction-free dining setup with #ELDWchallenge! Then put your phone away 🙂
Challenge: Set a stretch reminder on your calendar or with a Post-it note. Try once a day and see how you feel. Share a photo of the reminder or your favorite desk stretch with #ELDWchallenge!
Challenge: Choose reusable as first choice when you are on the go. Share a picture of your favorite reusable cup or dining ware #ELDWchallenge!
Challenge: Write down 3 things you’re grateful for every day for 1 week and share with #ELDWchallenge
Challenge: Blend a burger with mushrooms. Do a 70/30 blend of meat to cooked, cooled, chopped mushrooms. They will add umami to your burger and you won’t want to make them any other way moving forward. Share a photo of your creation with #ELDWchallenge
Challenge: Set yourself up for success by planning for healthy snacks. Share your healthy snack stash with #ELDWchallenge
Challenge: Store your phone in another room one hour before bedtime. Share a screenshot of your screen time progress with #ELDWchallenge!
