Rita Harrison-Torres

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 spend 20 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.

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

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

I will watch 2 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will express my love and gratitude for our planet by writing a love letter, poem, song or taking a picture. I will share this in the Ecochallenge feed or on my social media.

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

I will watch 2 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will replace 8 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.
