I will volunteer 2 hours in my community.

Join the EcoChallenge event on the Community Champion Portal to track qualifying actions. Select actions are eligible for matching funds going to EcoChallenge. Link provided in the dropdown menu.

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

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

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 make a few homemade cleaning products.

I will spend 20 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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 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 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.

I spend 15 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.

Through my Earth Month Ecochallenge feed, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

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