I spend 15 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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

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 replace 5 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.

Share your journey and one thing you learn during the Ecochallenge on any platform (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, KohlerNow) using hashtag #KohlerEcochallenge!

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 watch 1 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

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