You'll be an Campus Ecochallenge expert in no time!
I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.
I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 3 friends and classmates each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.
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 make sure I'm registered to vote. While I'm at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!
Strong neighborhoods are built on connection and trust. I will introduce myself to 5 neighbors or spend time getting to know people in my community.
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.
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 120 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
I will spend 60 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.
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.
I will spend 30 minutes learning about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.
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.
I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to people or perform random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.
