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 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.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally). As an example, a plane from New York to Los Angeles (~2,450 miles) generates about 65 tons of carbon dioxide.

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

I will watch 2 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

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

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 1 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

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

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

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

I spend 5 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 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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.

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community.

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