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 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.

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

I will have a conversation with one or more nonprofit organizations I want to be involved with.

I will volunteer 10 hours in my community.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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

I will write to a school, community learning center, or education leader I admire to express my thanks for their sustainability work and find out how I can get involved.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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 replace 30 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.
