Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 60 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and classmates each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.

Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day.

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 2 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will replace 45 minutes per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will join a local or campus-based outdoor restoration project to help care for natural spaces and get involved in hands-on environmental work.

I will spend 25 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
