I will spend 15 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

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.

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

I will volunteer 5 hours in my community or campus through clubs, service-learning, campus organizations, or other local events or opportunities.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 10 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

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.

I will spend 30 minutes listening to a podcast about equity and justice.

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 switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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