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

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

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

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 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.
