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

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.

I will replace 15 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 find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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

I will spend 20 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

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

Join the EcoChallenge event on the Community Champion Portal to track qualifying actions. Select actions are eligible for matching funds going to EcoChallenge. Link provided in the dropdown menu.

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.
