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

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 20 minutes and collect 20 items of litter.

Recycling rules vary by location. I’ll spend 45 minutes learning which plastics my local program accepts. This helps me avoid “wishcycling” — tossing items in the bin and hoping they’ll be recycled, even if they aren’t.

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 3 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.

I will watch 2 documentaries about systemic racism to learn more about how it affects us and the planet.

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.)

Many common products contain harmful chemicals. I will spend 60 minutes researching chemicals found in products I use, and I will make a list of products I'd like to replace with safer options.
