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

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

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

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will plant pollinator-friendly plants in my area to support local pollinators.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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 carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me each day to raise my awareness of how much waste I produce.

I will spend 10 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will replace 10 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will organize a book club to read about climate change and sustainability.

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