I will watch 2 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 1 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I spend 30 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 watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

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

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

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

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

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

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 spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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