I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

I will spend 15 minutes reading the Ecochallenge feed each day and giving high fives or commenting on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.
