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 manual thermostats with smart ones.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

I will volunteer 3 hours in my community.

I will replace 10 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.

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