I will spend 20 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate and divert waste from the landfill.

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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by keeping my showers under 5 minutes.

I will learn about water use in food production and eat less water intensive foods.

I will attend the closing keynote lecture given by David Orr.

I will attend the keynote address from Francisco Piyãko and Chief Walt "Red Hawk" Brown.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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

I will replace 60 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will make responsible and sustainable seafood choices.

I will conserve water and energy by only doing full loads of laundry in cold water.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) per day.

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

I will tell friends and/or colleagues about the Ecochallenge and share information about how to get involved.
