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

Strong neighborhoods are built on connection and trust. I will introduce myself to 4 neighbors or spend time getting to know people in my community.

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

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 10 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

I will spend 1 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 save water in my dorm or shared living space by only flushing the toilet when necessary—potentially conserving up to 12 gallons (45 L) per day.

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