Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 30 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will install an alternative energy system, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

Organic farming practices are healthier and safer for our planet, animals, and people. I will enjoy 2 meals cooked with organic ingredients per day.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 2 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.
