I will spend 5 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.

I will spend 30 minutes listening to a podcast about equity and justice.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

Strong neighborhoods are built on connection and trust. I will introduce myself to 2 neighbors or spend time getting to know people in my community.

I will spend at least 20 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

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

My voice matters. I will contact 1 civic leaders or elected officials to express support for a pro-environmental local, regional, or national policy.

I will volunteer 4 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will host a watch party to screen a documentary about an issue that matters to me.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

Instead of bagging leaves, compost them to enrich your garden soil and reduce landfill waste.

Support local farmers and reduce carbon emissions from transportation by buying fall produce like squash, apples, and pumpkins.
