I will make sure I'm registered to vote. While I'm at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

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.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

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

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 2 friends and classmates each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straws out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.
