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 try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

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

I will write to a school, community learning center, or education leader I admire to express my thanks for their sustainability work and find out how I can get involved.

Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 1 phone calls and/or send 1 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

I will watch 2 documentaries about education or work.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me each day to raise my awareness of how much waste I produce.

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

I will spend 10 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.
