Samantha Mai

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 15 minutes and collect 20 items of litter.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or coordinate ride shares with roommates, classmates, or campus peers to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

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

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

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 8 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

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

I will declutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my dorm room, apartment, or home to create a more peaceful and organized living space.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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 visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.
