Organic farming practices are healthier and safer for our planet, animals, and people. I will enjoy 1 meals cooked with organic ingredients per day.

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 walk 1 miles each day instead of driving.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will take a walk each day to clear my mind, get some fresh air, and support my physical and mental health as a student.

I will spend 5 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 5 minutes and collect 1 items of litter.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 5 minutes each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

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