Teal's actions
Nature
Spend Time Outside
I will replace 60 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
Nature
Enjoy the Sunrise or Sunset
I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.
Energy
Calculate My Carbon Impact
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.
Take the Pre-Survey
Take the Pre-Event Survey
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.)
Waste
Collect Litter While Plogging or Plalking
Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 20 minutes and collect 5 items of litter.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Community
Explore the Community Feed and Connect with Others
I will spend 15 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 took a nice hike yesterday and found a new favorite hiking spot! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhile water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?
Teal Redwoods 10/10/2025 9:12 AMI bought a reuseable mug for my coffee. Since I got it, I haven't used a disposable cup! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhat was your experience like plogging, or engaging in another way to collect litter while being outside? Did you find anything unusual?

I walked by the beach and picked up trash I saw on the ground. -

The Ecochallenge is going well so far. I'm trying to spend more time after work taking walks and watching the sun set.
