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 3 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

Each day, I will spend 60 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 6 people about what I learned.

Try cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions by finding another way to get to campus on April 26th (rain date: April 27th). Walk, bike, take the bus, the train, or carpool with someone!

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

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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will watch 3 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about water justice in my region.

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

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.
