Each day, I will spend 15 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 15 people about what I learned.

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 30 minutes planning out a staycation in my region. For reference, one several hour flight releases the equivalent of nearly 14% of the annual emissions from a car.

I will watch 1 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

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 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 calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

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