Rita Hay

I will replace 30 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 replace 3 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 60 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.

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

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

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

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

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.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 10 minutes and collect 10 items of litter.
