Leo Ortega

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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

I will watch 5 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will watch 5 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

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

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.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

I will volunteer 12 hours in my community.

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

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 spend 30 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.
