Watch the short video below to learn the basics.
You'll be an The People's Ecochallenge 2025 expert in no time!
"I challenge my coworkers to join me in creating a zero waste household within the limits of our community restrictions. This includes clean recycling, food waste limits, composting when applicable, using re-usable items at all times."
I will volunteer 15 hours in my community during the challenge.
I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 3 conversations.
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 will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 5 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.
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 make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!
I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.
I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.
Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 5 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 15 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
Wars and conflicts have devastating consequences—not only for people and communities, but also for ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate. I will spend 15 minutes learning about how war and conflict impact human rights, displacement, and environmental degradation. I’ll explore how peace, justice, and strong institutions are linked to sustainability and resilience.
Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to 3 people or perform 3 random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.
