Josie de Leeuw 10/16/2025 5:54 PMI agree! I also like to use the power of the sun to heat my body by sitting outside in the sun instead of turning on the heat indoors. I also love using my weighted blanket so I don't have to turn the heat on!! It is so warm and cozy under there!

Trevor's actions
Energy
Heat and Cool Naturally
I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.
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.
Simplicity
Go for a Daily Walk
I will take a walk each day to clear my mind, get some fresh air, and support my physical and mental health as a student.
Community
Talk To My Friends and Classmates
I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 20 friends and classmates each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.
Water
Brush My Teeth Without Running Water
I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
Food
Choose Organic Ingredients
Organic farming practices are healthier and safer for our planet, animals, and people. I will enjoy 3 meals cooked with organic ingredients per day.
Health
Eliminate Toxic Plastics
I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.
Nature
Learn to Grow Plants My Way
I will spend 20 minutes exploring how I can grow plants in my space—whether it’s a dorm windowsill, apartment patio, or a shared campus garden.
Transportation
Walk Instead of Driving
I will walk 2 miles each day instead of driving.
Nature
Do a Nature Activity
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 90 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.)
