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.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 60 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

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 spend 20 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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 spend at least 20 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minutes each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

Knowing our carbon footprint is the first step to reducing it. I will calculate my carbon impact and identify lifestyle changes that could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment. I will share my commitments to lowering my impact on the feed.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

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

I will organize Ecochallenge.org's discussion course A Different Way: Living Simply in a Complex World with my family, friends, co-workers, or classmates.

Reduciré la cantidad de agua que se usa en cada descarga y ahorraré hasta 41 litros (11 galones) de agua por día al instalar un depósito ahorrador para el tanque del baño.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 25 minutes and collect 3 items of litter.
