I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

I will replace 60 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 watch 1 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

I will replace 6 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

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 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).
