I will replace 30 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.

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

No longer using single-use plastic laundry detergent. Choosing a more eco-friendly detergent.

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.

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

I will watch 3 documentaries about climate change.

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

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 replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will volunteer 12 hours in my community.

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

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.
