1. I educated myself about carbon footprint dieting; cutting down on red meats/ cheese, trying to eat more plant based, eating locally produced food, and seasonal veg/ fruit.
2. I ate vegan all day; it was actually TASTY. I'm pretty impressed. I don't want to be 'that person' who goes around telling everyone they ate vegan though; people don't appreciate that, right?! Haha
3. We didn't use the car all day; public transport only.
4. I donated to and signed a couple of petitions on earthday.org.
5. I tried making people aware of the day on social media.
6. Baked my own bread.
7. Participated in a Pokemon walk which raised money to grow new forests.

Note added to goal Listen to 26 new bands each beginning with every letter in the alphabet
A - Audioslave - love!!
B - The Black Crowes - a bit meh..
C - Cannibal Corpse - ooh crap, forgot they were death metal.. it's 9am, haha...
D - The Damned - not for me..
E - Exodus - I like! I always appreciate a bit of thrashy metal
F - The Flaming Lips - yeah, they're ok!
G - Grateful Dead - take me to the 60's maaan ;)
H - Hootie & The Blowfish - personally more like background music for me
I - Idles - too punk sounding for my taste
J - Jimi Hendrix - I'm definitely liking the 60s rock sound; anyone have a time travelling machine?
K - Killswitch Engage - Not a fan of this modern metal - found out its called metalcore, so at least I know what to avoid!
L - Linkin Park - somehow never chose to listen to them much in the nu metal days, some great songs there although some sound a bit emo.
M - Mansun - love Wide Open Space, so thought I'd listen to more; very 90s sounding, I like, reckon it needs more listening to.
N - Nothing But Thieves - pleasantly surprised!
O - Ocean Colour Scene - what an amazing band; I didn't realise half the songs I already liked were written by them..
P - Papa Roach - too emo sounding for me

S - Slayer - ahhh thrash metal, how I've missed you; so much energy!!!
T - Tech N9ne - omg such talent; why is this guy not more well known?
U2 - Always wondered why people have an issue with them, especially Bono. Why not direct your hate to the psychopaths who rule this planet and do the direct opposite of trying to help? Listened to a few tunes and recognised all of them - very stadium rock.
V - The Velvet Underground - can understand why people would love this band, but it doesn't really stimulate me!
W - WASP - generic 80s glam rock, none of the songs really stood out, but maybe they just need more of a listen.
X - XTC - I quite like this band; never heard of them before. Very catchy quirky songs. Not sure I'll ever seek them out, but you never know.
