Janet 's actions
Health
Go Get A Check Up
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.
Nature
Explore a New Trail or Nature Walk
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
Transportation
Drive Less and Combine Trips
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.
Community
Explore the Community Feed and Connect with Others
I will spend 5 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.
Health
Eliminate Toxic Plastics
I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.
Health
Learn About Local Environmental Justice Concerns
Environmental issues often impact marginalized communities the most. I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
Health
Enjoy Fruits and Veggies
Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 4 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.
Health
Prioritize Getting Enough Sleep
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.

Janet Beach 7/20/2026 11:03 PMThere are over 1800 people participating, and each and every one has a story about how these little changes are making a difference. Just think if 1800 people just saved one gallon of water a day for 30 days. That’s 54,000 gallons of water. That’s about 20 fire trucks worth of water. You all make a difference e, -

Janet Beach 7/17/2026 8:20 PMIt’s been a wonderful day, and I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend. I’m house sitting for a friend and that includes feeding the birds, raccoons, and deer. Four baby raccoons today! -

REFLECTION QUESTIONNatureHow can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place -- your deep knowledge of and appreciation for your surroundings?
Janet Beach 7/14/2026 12:04 PMWhen I go for a hike, life slows down. I only have birds to listen to, frogs, the smell of the prairie on a hot afternoon... it makes everything else I do calmer and less stressful. There's a reason that we go for a walk when we need to "cool down." -
Janet Beach 7/12/2026 7:53 PMWe are halfway, and I think we can hit 10,000 points! Let’s do it! -

Janet Beach 7/09/2026 9:30 PM745 pounds of CO2 saved in just 9 days! Just our team. Can we reach a ton of CO2 saved by July 24? -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthConsider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What changes did you make to improve your sleep, and how did they affect your day?
Janet Beach 7/09/2026 9:28 PMI would really like to get up earlier in the morning, but I love being up late on cool summer nights. I wish four hours of sleep was all I needed.-
