I will calculate my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 3 gallons (11 L) of water per faucet every day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minutes each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

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.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work, on campus and/or in the spaces I frequent.
