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

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

I will volunteer 6 hours in my community.

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

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

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

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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.
