Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 7 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon or energy calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their living space.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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.

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. I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

Many common products contain harmful chemicals. I will spend 20 minutes researching chemicals found in products I use, and I will make a list of products I'd like to replace with safer options.

I will spend 15 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will host a watch party to screen a documentary about an issue that matters to me.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will try to shop at a farmers market or food co-op, if one is accessible, to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will spend 10 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

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

I will organize one of Ecochallenge.org's discussion courses, such as Powering a Bright Future, with classmates, friends, co-workers, or family.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI) if available to me through campus or local clinics.
