I will organize a book club to read about climate change and sustainability.

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

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

I will watch 1 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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 replace 10 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.
