I will call my elected officials to ask what they are doing regarding equitable gender participation and representation in my region.

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.

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 spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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 call my elected officials to ask about what they are doing regarding water issues in my region.

I will replace 6 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will watch 3 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about water justice in my region.

I will replace 20 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.
