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

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

Share your journey and one thing you learn during the Ecochallenge on any platform (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, KohlerNow) using hashtag #KohlerEcochallenge!

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.
