Commit to sustainable habits with our Reduce Your Foodprint Challenge
Have you chosen your New Year’s resolution yet? While we believe that anyone can commit to bigger changes any time of the year, an annual tradition like this can be a great place to start.
January will mark the start of our annual Reduce Your Foodprint Challenge — a monthlong plan to help you adopt more sustainable shopping, cooking and eating practices. Let’s start 2025 by recommitting to our goals to create less food waste and less trash, use less plastic and single-use packaging and support a food system that empowers farmworkers and communities.
Every week will have a new theme, starting with easy changes such as eating peels and other scraps (carrot-top pesto, anyone?) and bringing a reusable cup to the coffee shop. You’ll progress to longer-term commitments, like eating less meat and even growing your own food. These achievable daily actions are designed to help you reduce your foodprint, guiding you through making better choices for animals, people and the environment. Suggest the challenge to your coworkers, classmates or friends — moral support can be the encouragement you need to keep going and make new habits stick.
Show how you’re reducing your foodprint in the new year by posting your progress to your Instagram feed or stories with the hashtag #ReduceYourFoodprint — and don’t forget to tag us @foodprintorg. We’ll share our favorites throughout the month!
Ready to participate in the Reduce Your Foodprint Challenge? Sign up below and get a PDF with action items for all 28 days straight to your inbox. If you’d like to start at a later date, you can also save it for the future and stick to the four-week structure or go at your own pace. Any time is the right time to reduce your foodprint.
