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

I will volunteer 4 hours in my community.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 5 minutes and collect 100 items of litter.

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

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

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

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.

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